Hello Philip Johnston,
Based on the information available from the SmartSuite Help Center, here's a detailed answer regarding backup, restore, and snapshot options in SmartSuite:

Backups in SmartSuite: While specific details about automated backups in SmartSuite are not explicitly mentioned in the resources available, it's common for cloud-based platforms to maintain regular backups for disaster recovery purposes. However, for user-initiated backups, SmartSuite doesn't seem to offer a direct backup feature such as downloading a zip file for manual restoration. For more details on their security practices, you can refer to their Security Practices page.
Deleting and Restoring Records: SmartSuite provides options for deleting and restoring records. If you delete a record, it seems you can restore it, assuming it hasn’t been permanently removed. This feature is useful for recovering data that might have been accidentally deleted. For a step-by-step guide on how to delete or restore records, visit the SmartSuite Deleting/Restoring Records page.
Snapshots in SmartSuite: Currently, there doesn’t appear to be a feature in SmartSuite akin to the 'snapshot' functionality you might find in other software. Snapshots typically refer to the ability to save a particular state of a system at a given time, which can then be reverted to later. This feature is not mentioned in the SmartSuite's documentation or help centre.

For a more comprehensive understanding of how SmartSuite handles data and its structure, you can explore their Guide to SmartSuite's Structure. This guide provides insights into how data is organized and managed within SmartSuite, which might indirectly relate to how data backup and restoration could work.

I hope this helps. 👍

Confused about Smartsuite backup/restore/snapshot options.
