Dear all.
Thanks in advanced for reading this issue, and help if possible .
The fact is that I have deleted BY MISTAKE all historical data. Does anyone if there is a backup file to recover my data before the deletion?
Thanks again

Is your question related to MATLAB somehow? For example, are you talking about files you were using in MATLAB Drive, or MATLAB Mobile?
If not, this is not a very good place to ask your question.

There is no general backup controlled by the community of this forum. Either you make backups by your own, or there are no backups. As the cyclist wrote already: Backups are not a job for Matlab, but for the operating system and the user.

Thanks for your answers. It is someting I expected, no backups from Matlab.
I have started to use Matlab some weeks ago, to collect data from an ESP32 device, data like temperature, huminidy, air presure, etcc.
I made a mistake when exporting the data to an Excel file. I launched the most recent data export, instead the total data expotr, and later I deleted the total data.
I have learnt the lesson, backup before deletion.
Thanks again.

To clarify, the OP was asking about historical data in ThingSpeak. There is no backup of the data, but you can read the data for backup in several ways before you delete it. I'm sorry that you lost your existing data before you were able to save it.
Generally, a ThingSpeak channel is intended to act as a sor of lab notebook for your measurements. You can a new 'derived' channel to do analysis on your historical data, thus keeping the original data more or less clean.
