# Backing up a different store

Learn how to back up a store other than your current store with your existing Duplify plan.

You can create backups for a different connected store than the one you’re currently viewing. This is useful when you export data between stores (for example, from a development store to a production store) and need to back up the destination store instead of the source store.

To use this feature, at least one of the connected stores must have an active Duplify plan. A single active subscription can be used to run backups for one store at a time.

## Back up a different store

If you want to back up a store that you haven't connected to this Duplify store yet, then before you start, [find the store key](/using-duplify/connecting-stores/your-store-key.md) for the store you want to back up.

**Steps:**

1. From the Duplify app menu, go to **Backups**.
2. Click **Back up a different store**.
3. Choose one of the following store backup options:
   1. **Connected store**: Use a store you've already connected to this account for your backup.
   2. **Store key**: Connect a new store using a store key for your backup.
4. After you've selected a previously connected store from the list, or connected a new one with a store key, click **Continue**.
5. Click **Go to store** to continue setting up the backup.
6. Continue with the export steps as per the instructions in [Set up your first backup](/backups/creating-a-backup.md#set-up-your-first-backup).

You'll manage your backups in the store that you connected.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://support.duplifyapp.com/backups/creating-a-backup/backing-up-a-different-store.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
