Druva supports download of backed-up Power Apps data from a snapshot. Download includes environment metadata and canvas apps that were backed up as a full package (.msapp). Component libraries and canvas apps without a downloadable package are backed up as details only and cannot be downloaded as a full app package. Model apps, Cards, and Portal apps are not backed up.
Download Data
Navigate to Microsoft Power Platform > Power Apps > Configured Environments.
Select the environment, then click Download. You can also open the environment details page and click Download.
The Download Data page shows the environment name and type.
In Snapshot Viewer, select the recovery point from the snapshot timestamp dropdown.
Review the items in the snapshot, then click Download.
Snapshot items
The items table lists what is in the selected snapshot.
Column | Description |
Name | File name (for example, Settings.json or AppName.msapp) |
Type | environment_metadata or canvas_app |
Size | Size of the item |
Owner | App owner, when available |
Modified On | Last modified timestamp of the item, when available |
Typical items:
environment_metadata — Settings.json for the environment.
canvas_app — the canvas app package as a .msapp file.
📝NOTE: Downloaded files on disk include the environment settings JSON, the .msapp file, and an app-level settings JSON (for example, AppName.msapp Settings.json).
Restore
Restoration of Power Apps data directly through the Druva cloud platform is currently not supported due to API limitations.
Druva supports disaster recovery for Microsoft Power Apps using a Download-and-Import workflow.
📝NOTE: Only assets downloaded as .msapp files can be imported back into Power App environments. Other assets—such as metadata, settings—are downloaded as JSON files for configuration reference only and cannot be directly imported.
Import the file to Power Apps
Log in to the Microsoft Power Apps Service.
Navigate to the destination environment.
Click Apps > Import app > From file (.msapp) and upload the downloaded .msapp files.
