PRACTICAL FIELD GUIDE
An export download link expired
The database export uses a short-lived authenticated download, so an old link may stop working without indicating that the project data is gone. Use the supported export flow to obtain a current package.

Put it into practice
- Check when the export was prepared and whether the download completed.
- Prepare a new export through the project dashboard when the signed link is no longer valid.
- Store downloaded files securely and verify that the SQL matches the configuration package you will restore.
What this looks like
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE
A team shares yesterday's export link instead of downloading the file during its valid window. The link expires while the hosted project remains active.
A boundary to keep clear
An authenticated download link is sensitive. Do not publish it in an issue or marketing example.
MCPBackend context
Managed hosting and a portable export solve different operational needs. Write/storage caps block writes, while the API-request cap blocks data requests including reads. The exported runtime covers compatible CRUD, auth and row policies; it does not include the hosted dashboard, MCP server, webhooks, billing, metering or managed backups.
Take the next step
Inspect the current project contract, try the change with disposable data, and verify the result through the same credentials your app will use. Record the expected response and one denied-access case before release.
