Notion can duplicate a page. It cannot move a workspace. Restora rebuilds one inside another account — databases, relations, rollups, views and page hierarchy — and names anything that couldn’t come with it.
Backups are free. You only pay when you restore.
Notion has no “move to another workspace” action for a whole workspace. The two official routes each cost you something:
Markdown and CSV exports flatten the structure. Relations become plain text, rollups stop computing, views and filters are gone, and databases arrive as loose files you rewire by hand.
Recreate every database, every property, every view, then re-link every relation row by row. It works. It also takes days, and every missed link is silent.
Restora takes the third route: it reads your backup and rebuilds the structure through Notion’s API in the destination workspace — creating the databases, restating the schemas, re-linking the relations, and recreating the views.
Run on 8 August 2026 against a purpose-built edge-case workspace — linked Projects, Tasks and People databases carrying self-relations, two-way relations, rollups computed from them, formulas, unique-ID columns and a file attachment. The destination was a separate Notion workspace that could not see the source: the destination’s own token returns 404 on the source database, which is how we know the rebuild used nothing but the backup file.

These are counts from one run on one workspace — not a benchmark, not an average, and not a promise about yours. Your workspace produces its own numbers and its own report naming anything that didn’t come across. We publish no percentages, because a percentage hides which item you lost.
Connect Notion and run a backup. It captures databases, rows, pages, blocks, views, relations and file bytes. Backups are free and unlimited, and they never modify the workspace they read.
Sign in to the workspace you’re moving into and share one page with Restora. That page becomes the parent for everything restored, so the copy lands somewhere you chose.
Restora rebuilds the databases, restates the schemas, re-links the relations in a second pass once every row exists, recreates the views, then rebuilds the page tree. You get a report naming every exception.
A restore is a faithful rebuild, not a byte-for-byte clone — because Notion’s API genuinely cannot write some things. Here is the whole list. Any tool that gives you a shorter one is leaving something out.
One workspace grew into two lives. Move the work half into its own workspace and leave the personal one where it is.
The buyer needs the operating system, not your account. Rebuild it in theirs and keep your personal pages out of the deal.
Agencies and consultants rebuild the same setup per client. Restore one backup into each client’s workspace instead of rebuilding it each time.
Take the pages that are yours to take into a workspace you own — before the account is closed.
One honest caution: only move content you have the right to move. Restora rebuilds whatever is in the backup you made — deciding what is yours to take is your call, not ours.
No. A restore only creates — it never edits or deletes anything in the source. The source workspace is untouched, so you can move first and clean up afterwards once you have checked the copy.
Yes, for every relation whose target is also in the backup. Restora writes relations in a second pass, after all rows exist, so links between databases reconnect to the restored copies rather than pointing back at the source. Links to anything outside the backup are counted and named, never dropped silently.
Yes — choose the databases and pages to include when you back up. Bear in mind that a relation pointing at a database you left out cannot be rebuilt; the report names each one, so you know exactly what you traded away.
Only for larger files. A free Notion workspace caps uploads at 5MB, so files above that are named as skipped and stay safe in your backup until you restore into a paid workspace. Everything else restores on a free plan.
No, and deliberately so. This is a one-time rebuild. Restora stores nothing of yours — backups go to your own Google Drive or S3, and a restore reads from that file. There is no ongoing connection between the two workspaces afterwards.
Backing up is free. Restoring is paid — $6.99 a month, or a one-time $9.99 pass if you only need to move once. You can back up and inspect everything before paying anything.
It’s free, it doesn’t touch your source workspace, and it tells you exactly what it captured before you decide to move anything.
