How do I back up my store data in Vareons?

The backup page gathers the full protection cycle: create a snapshot by choosing type and categories with a confirmation phrase, keep it in history, then download, inspect, export, or restore it. The page shows History, Settings, and Statistics tabs with a stats bar, and every backup opens in a detail page with per-category document counts and expandable previews before any restore. See the backups documentation and the store-data-loss problem page.

Steps for safe backup and restore

1. Open the backup page and create a new snapshot, choosing full or partial type.
2. Select the needed data categories from products, orders, customers, coupons, website, and the rest.
3. Type the confirmation phrase, save the snapshot, then download it as a JSON file for external keeping.
4. When a restore is needed, open the snapshot detail page, review document counts, then choose overwrite or merge deliberately.

Wise protection habits

Backing up regularly before major changes avoids data loss. See the launch checklist, the hosted store, and the backups documentation.

Scheduling backups

Fix a backup schedule fitting your store activity: a snapshot before any major change, a weekly periodic one for active stores, with an always-fresh external copy kept. Review the backup log monthly to confirm success, and rehearse a restore on trial data to confirm the procedure works before real need strikes.

• Create a snapshot at once before bulk price edits or data imports.
• Keep at least the last three external snapshots.
• Train a backup owner on restore steps for emergencies.
