Restoring Power Platform Data

Recovery for Power Platform brings back Power Apps, Power Automate flows, Power Pages sites, and entire solutions from any protected snapshot.
 

What can be restored

  • Power Apps — canvas apps and model-driven apps
  • Power Automate — cloud and desktop flows
  • Power Pages — external-facing portal sites
  • Solutions — restoring a solution brings back its flows, apps, and Power Pages sites together, in that order
     

Where restored items go

  • Recovery currently restores an item back into its original environment. Restoring into a different environment isn't available yet.
  • The environment the item belongs to must already exist — recovery brings back the item's content, not the environment container itself.
     

How to restore an item

  1. Open the item you want to recover and view its snapshot history.
  2. Choose the point-in-time snapshot you want.
  3. Choose to download it or restore it directly.
  4. Confirm the restore. You'll be told that the recovery is queued for the current environment and that the item's existing state may change once the recovery finishes.
     

Restoring a whole solution

  • Restoring a solution restores all of its eligible flows, apps, and Power Pages sites in a single action, using each item's most recent snapshot.
  • Any item that doesn't have a snapshot yet is automatically skipped, and shown with the reason so nothing restores silently.
     

Good to know

  • Power Pages sites may need their hosting connection re-bound and reactivated manually after a restore completes.
