Who would benefit? |
Anyone who has experienced inadvertent entity deletion and has had to manually create data. |
What impact would it make? |
It would provide a "safety net" for entity field values |
How should it work? |
Periodically (each day) an extension iterates all instances of an entity type and exports the field values into a csv file which is stored as a Resource entity (or saves to an Azure folder) Configuration would be needed for
|
Why is it needed? |
The data retention backups are fine but they require the complete database to be recovered which is likely to extreme. This is a simpler approach which would provide files that an administrator could use to re-create or regress entities. |
This is not a "recycle bin" recovery approach, it would require an administrator to recover appropriate files and subset the particular entities to be recovered.
It would not re-instate links but a similar approach might list the linked entities.
