Daily Dataverse Tables Backup using Power Automate

 Use Case 

To automatically export Dataverse Custom Tables daily to Excel and save those backups versions in OneDrive. Those tables include Lookup columns and Choices columns. We will use those backups as a second backup in addition to the Power Platform Environment system backups. In case of Data Loss, or Corruption, we can Bulk Delete the Dataverse Tables records and use Dataflows to load the data from the Backup Excel Files.

Our first Action will be the Recurrence Action and we will set it up for the Interval property, we will select ONE and for the frequency, we will select Day (To Run Daily). The start time is for the flow first start and you can test the flow during the design by running manual tests. The next action after the Recurrence will be the Dataverse List Rows Action.



In the Dataverse List Rows Action, we will select the table name and in our case, we are using the RavindraTable table from the

  Public Preview of Column-Level Security for Masking Sensitive Data Data Masking in Customer Interactions: Key Points Overview : Data masking (also known as de-identification or obfuscation) protects sensitive information by replacing it with masked strings.
