FeatureImprovement

What's New

  • Restore encrypted Notion backups: Encrypted Notion backups can now be restored end to end. Your archive is decrypted at restore time using your private key, which is never stored and is discarded immediately after use.
  • Back up your Notion people directory (optional, off by default): Capture your workspace's member directory as an access audit trail and to help resolve "assigned to" and "created by" fields. Note this is backup-only, since Notion's API cannot recreate users on restore.

Notion Backups

  • Formulas and relations survive a restore: Formula properties no longer come back empty, and relations to databases that were also backed up now relink correctly instead of silently dropping.
  • A clearer restore page: Removed a redundant "choose your restore method" step, added a plain-language note that restoring never overwrites your existing workspace, and turned the confusing empty state into an actual checklist with copy and refresh actions.
  • Handles unsupported content gracefully: Unsupported Notion content no longer causes the surrounding page content to be lost during a restore.
  • Comment backups fixed: Notion comment backups were silently failing. They now capture correctly, and the backup counters no longer report "0 backed up" on runs that actually succeeded.
  • Handles complex workspaces: Complex page and database references no longer cause a backup to crash.
  • Clearer backup logs: The Content tab now uses plain labels, groups failures by whether they will auto-retry or need your attention, shows humanized messages instead of raw errors, and separates issues on our end from ones you need to act on.
  • Smoother OAuth: Connecting Notion no longer leaves you stranded on a dead tab when Notion hands off to its desktop app, which also resolves duplicate connections.

Databases

  • One file per database restored: MySQL all-databases backups again produce one file per database (matching previous behaviour), so you can restore a single database instead of the whole set. Backups from the affected window are migrated automatically.
  • More resilient managed MySQL backups: All-databases backups now handle managed database environments more reliably.
  • Postgres in search: PostgreSQL now appears when you search for it in the backup source picker.

Backups & Reliability

  • Clearer snapshot errors: Snapshot failures now show clearer, more useful messages.
  • Better Google Cloud Storage setup guidance: Added inline guidance to help configure GCS buckets successfully.

Billing & Interface

  • Payment method fixes: Card-free payment methods such as Link and SEPA no longer make a successful setup look like a failure.
  • Clearer upgrades: The upgrade dialog now highlights which plan to pick instead of leaving it ambiguous.
  • Team Reports for admins: Reports are now available to workspace admins and owners.
