Run backup and restore

Before you begin

The following sections describe how to manually run backup and restore workflows from GitHub Actions.

You can restore an environment from any date for which a backup exists. The restore workflow allows you to select the desired backup by specifying its date.

Backups can only be created from the current state of an environment. It is not possible to create a backup of a past state retrospectively.
