Hello,Is there a way to automate taking DB back up from Appian Cloud? We do take back up manually from Appian Cloud before PROD deployment every month.However, we now are looking for automating the process before every deployment.Please suggest if you know of any good way to take Appian Cloud DB backup without the intervention of Appian Support.(I know of "mysqldump" plugin but do not want to use it since it's not maintained for the latest versions of Appian - https://community.appian.com/b/appmarket/posts/mysqldump)

Hello arpitp481, were you able to find a solution for this? We're looking for something similar. Thanks!
Have you looked at this: https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/23.3/Enhanced_Data_Pipeline_for_Appian_Cloud.html
This will basically put in a "pipe" to your cloud database and you can then "pull" the data to a local copy (e.g. Data Warehouse or Data Lake)
you can use the cloud to provide service for backup.
Is it really needed to take backup of Appin cloud DB? Is it not done by Appian?
Sure is. What if you're in the middle of a project which involves multiple changes to DB objects, stored procedures, triggers etc? Taking a backup could be the only way you can version control your objects and revert to an earlier version if necessary.
