Hiya, I have a user requesting for data they accidentally deleted. I don't have document history built into my app. Is there a way to extract data from the automated daily backups that Appwrite Cloud Pro Plan provides? I see that this is a restore operation, and I can't cherry-pick a document from a collection. Please help me! 😭

TL;DR
Database backup restores can create a new database to restore to, allowing you to copy the data out of it.

okay I found out that database backup restores can create a new database to restore to. I did that and copied the data out of there.
