Hello all, I have a quick question… I have a Data table that I use in my trivia app, I got like 7 columns with over 100 rows… I have a little question… when I was writing it at the beginning I accidentally delete it when I was at the 30th row… now since I have a lot more I am afraid of accidentally delete it or something… since there is not ctrl+z or anything that can back up, is there any way I could dublicate it or make a back up safe for it? I don’t want to rewrite everything in case something will happens, thanks in advance!

You can open the table and select all and copy. Go to Google sheet and paste.

The other way is to create a small procedure to read every row in the table and write it to another table as a backup and you can run this procedure any time you make updates to the original table.
