All about Snapshot data

Greetings,

We currently use snapshot data to track inventory data and a mistake has erased all of that historical data. This situation has created a series of questions for us that I’m hoping the community can help.

Is there any way to restore old snapshot data? My current understanding is once this is lost there is no way to retrieve it.

Is there a way to export historical snapshot data from a database? We want to create a way of having a backup of the snapshot data that could be added to the database in the event of another loss. What is the best way to get that data exported into a file that can be kept as a backup?

Does it make sense to create an entirely new sync file and source for any snapshotted data, as a means of creating a separation from the “regular” data? Has anyone done something like this before?
