The Complete Guide to Backing Up Your Notion Workspace

Why Back Up Notion?

Notion stores your notes, databases, wikis, and project boards in the cloud. While Notion maintains high availability, accidental deletions, unauthorized access, or service outages can result in data loss.

A proper backup strategy ensures you always have a copy of your data, independent of Notion's infrastructure.

How Ginkgo Backs Up Notion

Ginkgo Backup connects to your Notion workspace via the official API and downloads all pages, databases, and files.

Backups are incremental - only changed content is downloaded after the first full backup, making subsequent backups fast.

All data is encrypted locally before storage, ensuring Notion content remains private.

Setting Up Notion Backup

1. Go to Settings → Integrations in Notion and create a new internal integration.

2. Share the pages and databases you want to back up with the integration.

3. In Ginkgo Backup, add a Notion source and paste your integration token.

4. Ginkgo will automatically discover and back up all shared content.

Restoring from Backup

Browse your backup snapshots to find any page at any point in time.

Restore individual pages or entire workspaces with a single click.

Export restored content as Markdown, HTML, or CSV.
