What data is backed up for Slack?

What we back up:

  • Users

  • Channels

  • Messages

  • Threads

Note: Due an API constraint we will only back up the first 1000 messages in a thread.

  • Attachments

  • Direct messages that the user has access to

What we don't back up:

  • Direct messages between other users

  • Channels that the user doesn’t have access to

  • Group membership & permissions

  • Workflows

Note: The reason that some of these data types are not backed up is because they are not made available in Slack's API. As soon as these data types are available through the API we will add them to the backup scope.
