There are multiple reports that restoring a database from Supabase backups currently corrupts the entire project.
The Supabase dashboard shows the following error message:
“Something went wrong while restoring your project. Your project’s data is intact, but your project is inaccessible due to a restoration failure.”
However, it appears that at least some of the backups, if not all, are either corrupt or unavailable.
As a result, data is lost and users are unable to access their projects. There are numerous reports on the Supabase Discord server, including from paying (non-free) users, stating that they haven’t received a response for several days (up to 8, from what I’ve seen).
AFAIK, this issue is still ongoing: restoring a database can still corrupt your project, and I haven’t found any official communication from the Supabase team addressing the problem.
In my view, this represents a worst-case scenario for managed cloud services. Supabase should immediately disable the restore function and start communicating transparently about what happened to users’ data.
