This article explains which data types ProBackup can restore for Airtable and any known limitations.
Tables
When you restore a table, a duplicate is created in the existing base. The restored table name includes a timestamp (e.g. "Table 1 (restored 2026-02-17 14:30:00)").
All records, comments, files, and field values are restored with the table.
Due to API restrictions, the following field types cannot be restored and will be skipped:

Note: If the original base no longer exists, create a new base named "ProBackupRestore" and try the restore again.
