BACKUPS
How to back up your Shopify store to your own cloud drive
Shopify keeps the platform running, but it does not give you a way to restore a product description you overwrote or a page you deleted. A backup you control is the only real undo for those mistakes. BulkCSV saves backups to a cloud drive you own, so the copy stays with you.
Step by step
Connect a cloud drive
In BulkCSV, open Storage and connect Google Drive, OneDrive or Dropbox. You sign in with the provider directly and approve access.
Choose what to back up
Open Backup and restore, then select products, pages, redirects, or all three.
Run the backup
BulkCSV reads the data from your store and uploads the backup file to your drive. You can also download it to your computer instead.
Restore when you need to
Pick a backup from the list and restore it. Each record is restored individually and the result is reported per record.
Example file
What each backup contains.
| Data | Fields saved | Restore supported |
|---|---|---|
| Products | Title, handle, description, vendor, product type, tags, status | Yes |
| Pages | Title, handle, body content, published state | Yes |
| URL redirects | Redirect from, redirect to | Yes |

Good to know
- Backup files are stored in your drive, not on BulkCSV's servers.
- Run a backup before any large update or delete. It takes a minute and is the only way back from a delete.
- Product backups cover the product's own details. For a copy of variant prices and SKUs, run a product export as well and keep the file.
- Backups are included on every plan, including Free.

Does Shopify back up my store automatically?
Shopify protects its own platform, but it does not offer merchants a restore for individual products, pages or redirects that were changed or deleted.
Can I back up without connecting a cloud drive?
Yes. You can download the backup file to your computer and keep it wherever you like.
How often should I back up?
Before every bulk change at minimum. Stores that edit content daily usually back up weekly as well.
