What is the recommended method for backing up CDS DBs? The only option I saw was exporting data into Excel, can this be automated?

 

Is there versioning in CDS?

    HI

     

    My suggestion.

    - Create an Excel in Dropbox / OneDrive / Google Drive (Dropbox is the fastest, within few seconds).

    - Create Field Titles exactly similar of the CDS

     

    So, whenever you wish to back up, just use

    - Insert A gallery (with all the data as from CDS)...make it INVISIBLE

    - Use ForAll and Patch to save in batch.

    You have wish to have condition so that it will not duplicate.

     

    Hope this gives you ideas.

     

    Have a nice day.
