Once your store is connected, our system safeguards your data by creating regular backups. You can choose automatic schedules or run backups manually—either immediately or at a time you specify.
🔁 1. Automatic Backups
Once your store is connected, Snapshot runs backups automatically based on the frequency you choose:
Daily: One backup every 24 hours.
Twice Daily: Two backups per day (e.g., 00:00 and 12:00).
Monthly: One backup on a fixed date each month.
These run silently in the background—no action needed. Your product data, variants, and inventory quantities are always backed up and ready to restore.
To adjust your automatic backup schedule:
Go to Dashboard > Settings.
Choose your preferred frequency: Daily, Twice Daily, or Monthly.
Click Save to apply the changes.
⚡ 2. Manual Backups
Need a backup right before making major changes? You can create one any time:
To trigger a manual backup:
Navigate to your Dashboard.
Click Start Backup.
Choose an option:
Run Now: Starts the backup immediately.
Schedule for Later: Opens a date-and-time picker to set a future backup.
Once queued, your backup will run as scheduled. You’ll be notified when it’s complete.
📚 3. Viewing Backup History
Easily access your past backups to audit changes or prepare a restoration.
To view your backup history:
Go to the Dashboard.
Scroll through the list of backups, organized by date, time, and type (Automatic or Manual).

♻️ 4. Restoring Products from a Backup
Restore individual products from any backup in just a few clicks.
To restore a product:
In your Backups List, locate the backup you want.
Click to open it, then select the product to restore.
Click Recover, then confirm your selection.
A copy of the product will be created in your Shopify store.
By default, the restored product will be unpublished, so you can review or edit it before making it public.
💡 Tip: Keep at least two recent backups available. This gives you a reliable safety net against data issues or accidental edits.
