Hello Appwrite Support,

We accidentally deleted two production databases and urgently need your help restoring them.

What happened: On 2026-08-14 at approximately 06:10 UTC, we ran appwrite push tables --all --force from a repository whose appwrite.json only contained a newly added database. The CLI interpreted the two existing databases as "deleted locally" and deleted them remotely, together with all their tables and rows. The --force flag suppressed the confirmation warning.

We understand this deletion was caused by our own CLI usage, not by an Appwrite fault. Any help recovering this data would be greatly appreciated. Please treat this as time-sensitive.

TL;DR
Accidentally deleted two production databases via CLI. Ran appwrite push command, causing databases to be deleted remotely. Requesting urgent help to restore the data. Solution: Unfortunately, data recovery from this specific deletion caused by CLI usage is not possible. It's recommended to regularly back up databases in the future to prevent data loss.

Can I restore if I create it with the same ID?
