What BackupMaster backs up, restores, and clones for BigCommerce - BackupMaster Documentation

Knowing what’s protected helps you prepare for data loss, store migrations, and disaster recovery. BackupMaster covers the core business data that keeps your BigCommerce store running — products, customers, orders, themes, and more. The table below shows every data type BackupMaster backs up and whether it can be restored or cloned.

Products include variants, images, options, modifiers, reviews, bulk pricing, custom fields, and videos (links to the video, not the source video file). Orders are backed up and can be exported for reporting and record-keeping. BigCommerce limits updates to existing orders, so BackupMaster doesn’t support restoring or cloning orders.

Unsupported data types

The following items aren’t backed up. Some are inaccessible due to BigCommerce API limitations, others are managed by third-party services, and some haven’t been prioritized yet. This list changes over time as coverage expands.

Store settings (logos, branding, email templates)
Third-party apps and their data

Widgets
Theme customizations (changes made through the theme editor)
