Requirements

Due to the nature of the sanity back up requiring a local copy of sanity CLI and studio setup, we have released Sanity as a serverless backup only option, you can decide between our AWS serverless network or our global serverless network.

Authentication

To connect to your sanity studio dataset we require an API key. This can be a read-only or a read-and-write key. If you want to use our automated restore system when something goes wrong you will need a key with write permissions, you can always provide this just before restoring. You will always be free to download the dataset and restore it yourself using your own key, and thus not provide SnapShooter with a write access key.
