One of my editors accidentally deleted all the data from one year in one of our apps. Has anyone else had the same issue? Is there any way to recover this data? ---

Was it on Glide tables or Google sheet? With Google sheet you can but I’m afraid not with Glide tables. ---

I recommend downloading your data from Glide tables periodically. It downloads as an ODS file. It’s not quite as good as a real backup, but it’s better than losing the data altogether. ---

An alternative if you’re using Glide Tables and have access to the Query API, is using something like [Make.com](http://Make.com) to schedule a scenario to query the table, then construct a CSV from that and save it somewhere. You might be able to make this process easier if Glide decides to have a time-based action in the future.
