You can restore monday.com content to recover from deletion or corruption. Commvault restores content to an isolated workspace in the same monday.com account, preserving the original data.
Note
In-place restore to original workspace IDs and out-of-place restore to a different monday.com account are not supported.
Restore destinations
| Destination | When to use |
|---|---|
| Isolated workspace | Recovering from accidental deletion, corruption, or ransomware. Commvault creates a new workspace with the name "Restored from backup — YYYY-MM-DD" and rebuilds all folders and boards inside it. Original data is not modified. |
Permissions and prerequisites
Before you restore monday.com data, confirm that the Personal API Token has the required write scopes:
-
me:write: Write access to user profile and account metadata -
boards:read: Read access to boards, workspaces, folders, items, and updates -
boards:write: Write access to create and update boards, items, columns, groups, and updates
If the token does not have write scopes, generate a new token with the required scopes and update the credential in Commvault. For details, see Configure permissions for monday.com protection.

Restore proceeds in parent-first order: users and teams are matched by email and name on the target account (not created during restore), a new workspace is created with the name "Restored from backup — YYYY-MM-DD", folders are created in dependency order, boards are created with all columns, groups, items, subitems, update threads, and file attachments, and then cross-board columns and file uploads are processed.
