AFAIK the tempo new feed is part of the internal implementation and not exposed. What is your goal?

Thanks Stefan , so does this mean there is no possible way to retrieve the feed data? Actually We want to keep backup of feeds as our application is being migrated.

Talk to Appian. I am sure there is a way. This is one of the reasons why I never really used news.

tp_feed_entry is the table in your primary DS that contains feed comments.  Note there are at least 7 tables in total currently that house feed related info (maybe more), which you may also need to review to associate the user and news feed post to the comment.  The easiest method to backup this data would likely be to have direct access to the DB. 

Note while connecting objects to your primary DS for read/write is not supported, as the structure is subject to change, have you tried making the connection for a one-time backup?  Are you cloud or on prem?
