The Scenario
You are a compliance officer at a fintech. An auditor has sent a request for a complete backup inventory of your eight production Prisma databases — backup ID, size, created date, and status — and wants it in an Excel workbook by Wednesday. Your security engineer is halfway through a different deliverable.
You manage the infrastructure side. The data is in the Prisma console, one database at a time, under the Backups tab of each project. There is no bulk export.
The bad version:
- Navigate to database one in the Prisma console, open Backups, record each backup ID, size, and status
- Switch to database two, repeat
- Notice you missed a backup on database five because the Prisma UI paginated and you did not scroll
- Transfer everything from your notes into Excel and spend time verifying the row count
Eight databases with an average of five backups each is forty rows to build by hand. One misread and the audit sheet has a gap.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Excel workbook. It reads your workbook and, through its Prisma integration, can list all backups across all your databases and write the full inventory into a structured table in one step.
Open your compliance workbook and try:
List all available backups for every database in my Prisma workspace and populate this sheet with columns: database name, backup ID, created date, size bytes, status, type
What You Get
- One row per backup across all databases
- Backup IDs ready to reference in a restore prompt
- Size as a sortable numeric byte value
- Status column — ready, degraded, in-progress — so you can spot anything that needs attention
- Type column distinguishing automated from manual backups
- Created dates as YYYY-MM-DD for correct Excel sorting
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
I only need backups from specific databases listed in my workbook
Pull backup records for the 5 database IDs in column A and write backup details into columns B through F of this Excel sheet — include backup ID, created date, size bytes, status, and type
I want size in GB and a flag for large backups
List all Prisma backups across all databases, write database name, backup ID, created date, status, and type to this Excel sheet, and in column E show size in GB rounded to 2 decimal places
I want to flag any backup older than 7 days that is not in a ready state
List all backups across my Prisma databases, write all detail columns to this workbook, and in column G mark "audit-flag" for any backup older than 7 days where status is not "ready"
Pull all backups, calculate age, flag issues, and generate restore recommendations in one shot
List all backups across my Prisma databases, write database name, backup ID, created date, size GB, status, type to columns A–F, in column G calculate days since creation, in column H write "healthy" or "review" based on status, and in column I suggest "restore-test" for any backup not verified in the last 30 days
The pattern: pull the backup inventory and the audit logic together in one prompt so the workbook is auditor-ready without a second cleanup pass.
