SmartRestore: Data Restore and Data Mover

The industry's only purpose-designed data restore and data mover solution for your Smartsheet data

Why do I need a Data Restore Solution?

Now that you have SmartBackup deployed as your backup solution for your Smartsheet data, you can rest assured that you will always have a set of online backups, as well as a set of exported backup copies saved outside of Smartsheet.

  • But what if you need to restore sheets from those external, exported backup copies? Or what if you need to restore a collection of sheets from a user who has left the organization?
  • How about being able to "roll-back" data in a live sheet, and revert to an earlier version of the sheet right inside Smartsheet?
  • Or, what if you need to move data in bulk from one Smartsheet account to another? Currently there is no easy way to do that in Smartsheet.

As a Smartsheet administrator in your organization, you need to ensure that you not only have a comprehensive backup solution in place, but that you also have a solution for restoring data from those backups when needed. And you most likely also have a need to help users revert to earlier versions of sheets, and ensuring that all attachments are handled appropriately in the process.

Then you will most likely also be required at some point to move data in bulk, or restore multiple user environments in an efficient way - something that is not possible today.

Watch the SmartRestore Overview

SmartRestore is the only purpose-built data restore, roll-back, and Master Data platform for Smartsheet

It consists of...

  • 01 Recovery and Loading

    Restore and recover sheets from external backup copies, including CSV files, Excel files, and SmartBackup Export zip files. As an Administrator, you can restore Smartsheet sheets for any user, and easily revert back to earlier versions of their data.

  • If you have a situation where a user needs to "roll-back" changes in a live sheet to an earlier version of the sheet, then you would use the Roll-back function in SmartRestore, to revert all data in a sheet back to an earlier time, using a downloaded copy of the activity log. Or you can use the Master Data functions to standardize or update a common set of drop-down lists across multiple sheets.

  • The Bulk Operations capability in SmartRestore will allow you as the Administrator, to restore Smartsheet sheets in bulk, or to restore a complete Smartsheet environemnt from an external backup.
