Export a Prisma Backup Inventory to a Google Sheet

The Scenario

You are a compliance officer at a fintech. It is Monday morning and an external auditor has sent a request: they want a spreadsheet of all available backups for your eight production Prisma databases, including backup size, creation timestamp, and restore status, by Wednesday at noon.

The data exists in Prisma's console. The problem is it exists one database at a time, buried under a Backups tab in each project view. Eight databases, with varying numbers of backups each, is a lot of tab-switching and manual entry.

The bad version:

  • Open database one in the Prisma console, navigate to the Backups tab, record each backup ID and size
  • Switch to database two, repeat
  • Realize that database five has a backup marked "degraded" that you almost missed because you were copying quickly
  • Rebuild the spreadsheet from your notes, then spend twenty minutes verifying row counts

The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI

SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Google Sheet. It reads your spreadsheet and, through its Prisma integration, can list all backups across all your databases and land them in a structured compliance sheet in one step.

Open your compliance tracking sheet 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 eight databases
  • Backup IDs in their own column — ready to reference in a restore prompt
  • Size in bytes with a sortable numeric format
  • Status column showing ready, degraded, or in-progress for each backup
  • Type column distinguishing automated backups from manual snapshots
  • Created dates as YYYY-MM-DD for easy sorting by age

What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready

I only need backups from five specific databases already listed in my sheet

Pull backup records for the 5 database IDs in column A and write backup details into columns B through F of this sheet — include backup ID, created date, size bytes, status, and type

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 database name, backup ID, created date, size bytes, status, type to this sheet, and in column G mark "audit-flag" for any backup older than 7 days where status is not "ready"

I need size in GB rather than bytes

List all Prisma backups across all databases, write database name, backup ID, created date, status, and type to this sheet, and in column E show size in GB rounded to 2 decimal places instead of bytes

Pull all backups, calculate age, flag degraded ones, and add a restore recommendation 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 mark "healthy" or "review" based on status, and in column I suggest "restore-test" for any backup that has not been verified in the last 30 days

The pattern: pull the backup inventory and the audit classification logic in one prompt so the sheet is ready for the auditor without a second pass.
