Maybe data is sort of safe in the cloud but a erronous forall command or remove command might destroy months of work. How is everybody guarding against this?

    Hi @HansHeintz ,

    Do you want to backup CDS?

    You could refer this doc about backup:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customer-engagement/admin/backup-restore-instances

    Note this works for Common Data Service as well.

    One of the way is to go to Dynamics 365 Administration Center.

    What's more , don't worry about license.

    Dynamics 365 is part of P2 plan of PowerApps.

    The Tab

    "Backup maken en terugzetten"

    Is the only tab i cannot activate in the Dynamics 365 Administration Center.

    while I have full rights. It snaps to the first tab.

    Hi @HansHeintz ,

    Please check these points:

    1)Only CRM Online 2016 Update 1 or later versions are supported for backup.

    2)Sign in using Office 365 Global administrator credentials. You can also sign in with Customer Engagement apps System Administrator or Delegated Admin security roles.
