I have noticed a new Datastore feature in Beta, Exporting and Importing service.
As far as I understand, Firestore runs on Datastore under the hood. Will it be possible to use this new Exporting and Importing feature for Firestore, too?
If not, is there a feature planned to create custom backups and restore them into a (different) project?
Update: Managed Export and Import is available.
Right now there is no import/export service for Cloud Firestore. We are working on this, it's at the top of the list of things we need to do before we can drop the "Beta" label.
You're right that Firestore is powered by the same technology as Datastore, but the two database are not exactly the same which is why you can't use plain-old Datastore export.
For now the best thing to do is to write your own import/export scripts using either the Java, Go, Node.js, or Python SDKs.
