Creating a backup

Learn how to create your first backup, and how you can trigger backups later.

Before Duplify can start creating your automatic weekly backups, you need to run your first backup. This initial backup captures your products, themes, and pages so Duplify has a starting point to work from.

The process only takes a few minutes, depending on your store size, and once it’s done, your weekly backups run automatically in the background.

Set up your first backup

Before Duplify can back up your store automatically, you need to run an initial backup.

This first backup may take a few minutes, depending on your store size.

Steps:

1. From the Duplify app dashboard, click Set up backups.

2. Click Get started.

3. Review what will be included (products, themes, and pages).

4. Click Start backup.

When the backup is complete, review what has been backed up.

Ongoing backups

After the initial setup, Duplify automatically creates weekly backups of your store data.

You can view and manage these backups anytime from the Backups page.

Trigger a backup manually

Backups run automatically every week, and you can also manually trigger additional backups within that period if needed.

Steps:

1. From the Duplify app navigation, click Backups.

2. Click Backup now.

The backup begins, and you can review the backup when it's finished.
