Data Rollback

Bytebase allows taking Prior Backup before a data change is made. Bytebase stores the pre-snapshot of the affected rows, which allows you to revert that data change if needed.

The backup data is stored in your own database instance. Bytebase does not purge the backup data automatically. You can manually delete the data in bbdataarchive database/schema.

Prior backup is only feasible when meeting any of the following conditions:

  1. No more than 5 statements and every statement is either UPDATE or DELETE.
  2. All statements are UPDATE for the same table with PRIMARY KEY or UNIQUE KEY in WHERE clause.
