Thank you!
There’s ways you can do it. If you give me a bit I can show you how I built a function to do so.
there's also this https://docs.convex.dev/database/import-export/export
Data Export | Convex Developer Hub
Export your data out of Convex

my data is empty
why
is there a way to get back to my old data
from yesterday
i cant seem to see my old data
ok i had a huge heart attack
thought i lost all the data
but fortunately i had a backup
in time
is there a way convex also keeps a part of backup ?
if you #verify or share your deployment name we should be able to tell what happened
i feel like the docs
could uuse some simple example
like scenarios
how to import
or a simple dropzone
where i could upload zip
folder and does the extraction by itself
yep that's a feature i've been wanting for a while -- a dashboard equivalent of
npx convex import
so you have all of your data, right? do you know it got deleted?yeah i have my data
fortunately it didnt get deleted
i made a mistake while importing
cause the doc in convex was not sure on how to import
so thought i had modified the existing data but i didnt import correctly so the import failed
so no changes
