Creating a Backup

Start backup
Click Create. Firepanel starts the backup process. Backup status is shown in the list.
Scheduled Backups
To set up automatic scheduled backups:
- Go to Settings → Backups
- Click Schedule
- Set the frequency (daily, weekly) and time
- Click Save Schedule
Restoring a Backup
Note:
Restoring a backup overwrites current Firestore data. This action cannot be undone. Make a new backup before restoring if needed.
Find the backup to restore
In the backups list, locate the backup you want to restore.
Click Restore
Click the Restore button next to the backup.
Confirm
Read the warning and type the project name to confirm. Click Restore. Firepanel will restore the Firestore data from the selected backup.
Reindex
After restoring a backup, if you use Full-Text Search, run a Reindex to rebuild the search index from the restored data. The Reindex option is available in the Backups tab and in the Search settings.
