Does Shopify Keep Backups?

Last updated on October 2, 2022 @ 5:25 am

Shopify does keep backups of your data, but there are some important caveats to be aware of. First, Shopify only keeps backups for a rolling 30-day period. This means that if you delete something from your store, or if something goes wrong and your data is lost, you will only be able to restore it if it was deleted within the last 30 days. Second, Shopify’s backups are not 100% reliable.

While they are usually very good, there have been occasions where data has been lost or corrupted in a Shopify backup. For this reason, it is always a good idea to keep your own backups as well.

PRO TIP: Shopify does not keep backups of your store data. If you need to restore your store, you will need to contact Shopify support and provide them with a backup of your store data.

All in all, while Shopify does keep backups of your data, there are some important limitations to be aware of.
