One of our developers kinda messed up the project, is there a way I'm missing on how to avoid this for future scenarios? In the self-hosted version we could do backups in cheeky ways, but the only way I can see of making a backup from the cloud is to make a migration to another account or self hosted instance 😅

TL;DR
There is currently no built-in snapshot or backup feature in Appwrite Cloud. However, you can use the migration feature as a backup by migrating your project to another account or a self-hosted instance. Another option is to use a backup tool available on GitHub, although its effectiveness is unknown. To avoid future issues, there is no specific solution mentioned in the thread.

Other than backing up the schema (with appwrite init, which is only really good for deploying a new instance of a project, because you lose any data in the database), no, there aren’t really currently any options.

So I truly will use the migration feature as a backup <:appwritemagician:946072299172409414>

Although a backup/restore process is in the concept stages currently

I found this repo, but I can’t speak to whether it’ll be any use https://github.com/react-declarative/appwrite-backup-tool
