A running history of meaningful Notion Backups improvements, from new storage destinations to restore, security, reporting, and sync features.
Added a restore option that puts pages directly in the workspace sidebar (root) instead of placing everything under a restore page. This is the simplest restore path, especially when restoring to a different workspace, and is available on Pro. Learn more.
Added visible sync status column inside synced spreadsheets, including timestamps and friendly status messages. Also added a recovery action for rows whose Notion pages were deleted, so the page can be recreated from the synced row data. Learn more.
Added Google Sheets Sync for Notion databases, with one-way sync from Notion to Sheets and two-way sync when read-write access is enabled. Synced spreadsheets are created in the connected Google Drive account. Learn more.
Added account activity logs for Pro customers. Audit logs help admins monitor workspace connections, storage changes, backup rotation, restores, Google Sheets syncs, and other security-relevant account activity. Learn more.
Added a Google Drive picker so customers can choose a different backup folder or store backups in a Shared Drive. Google Drive access stays scoped to folders and files the integration created or that the customer explicitly grants. Learn more.
Improved Markdown backups with better support for column items, subpages, media ordering, and database-heavy content. The goal is cleaner, richer, and more useful Markdown for browsing workspace backups outside Notion. Learn more.
Added an advanced rotation schedule for Pro customers. It keeps recent backups while preserving wider recovery coverage with monthly and yearly snapshots (Grandfather-Father-Son rotation policy). Learn more.
Added a read-only Notion authorization option for Pro customers who only need backups. Read-write access remains available when customers want the convenience of one-click restores. Learn more.
Added an Enterprise tier offering custom terms, invoice payment, and faster support.
Added clearer notifications when connected storage needs attention, including quota, authorization, permission, bucket, endpoint, and connection issues. These notifications help customers fix storage problems before backups are missed.
Added SFTP server storage for customers who want backups on infrastructure they manage themselves. Customers can configure the server, credentials, and port used for backup uploads. Learn more.
Introduced Lite as a lower-cost plan for customers who want regular Markdown backups stored in their own cloud storage.
Added Markdown backups as a human-readable export format. Unlike Notion's built-in Markdown export, these backups are pure Markdown without CSV companion files. Learn more.
Made the newer restore experience publicly available. Customers can select a backup, choose where to restore, and recover pages, databases, supported blocks, comments, and files where the Notion API allows it. Learn more.
Added clearer backup progress and status in workspace settings, then expanded the view with upcoming backup timing. This makes it easier to see when backups are running, waiting, complete, or require attention. Learn more.
Added two-factor authentication (2FA) using software-based TOTP codes. Customers can enable it from profile settings with an authenticator app and store a backup code for account recovery. Learn more.
Added team invitations for Pro customers so multiple people can access the same Notion Backups account. Learn more.
Introduced Pro as a higher tier for customers who need more advanced backup and recovery features.
Added monthly reports to give customers a regular view of backup activity and account status.
Added the ability to start a backup manually from workspace settings, alongside the regular backup schedule. Learn more.
Added support for backing up unresolved Notion comments. Customers who connected before comment backups were available may need to reauthorize their workspace. Learn more.
Added support for S3-compatible object storage providers such as Cloudflare R2, DigitalOcean Spaces, MinIO, Storj, UpCloud, and others through the compatible storage flow. Learn more.
Added Backblaze B2 as a backup destination. Customers can store backups in their own B2 bucket by providing the bucket details, endpoint, and application key. Learn more.
Added automatic backup rotation to remove older backups customers no longer need and help keep storage usage predictable. Learn more.
Expanded backup coverage to media files uploaded directly to Notion, including images, audio, video, PDFs, covers, icons, and property attachments. Externally hosted media keeps the URL rather than downloading the file. Learn more.
Expanded backups beyond Notion JSON to include uploaded files and images by default. Learn more.
Added Google Drive as a backup destination. Backups are stored in the customer's Drive, and the integration only accesses folders and files it created or that the customer explicitly grants. Learn more.
Added Amazon S3 as a customer-owned storage destination. Customers can connect a bucket with access keys, region, bucket name, and an optional prefix. Learn more.
Added Dropbox as a backup destination. Backups are stored in the customer's Dropbox account, and the integration is limited to the Apps/Notion Backups folder. Learn more.
