Whats The Difference Between Staged And Full Restore

Tadabase gives you two ways to restore from a backup:

• Staged Restore — spins up a temporary, isolated copy of your app from the backup so you can test it without touching your live app or users. Use it when you want to verify that a backup contains what you need, preview an older version of your data, or explore the app at a previous point in time before deciding whether to make it live.
• Standard (Full) Restore — replaces your current app data with the backup. This is destructive and can't be undone, so we recommend creating a fresh backup first. Use it when you're confident the backup is the version you want and you're ready to roll your live app back.

If you're unsure, start with a staged restore — it's the safer option and gives you a chance to verify the data before committing. You can always run a standard restore afterwards once you've confirmed the backup is correct.

Staged Restore requires the appropriate plan permissions and a temporary database configured for your account. See Backing Up and Restoring Your App for full details.
