# What BackupMaster backs up, restores, and clones for BigCommerce

> A complete reference of every BigCommerce data type BackupMaster can back up, restore, and clone between stores.

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.

## Supported data types

| Data type | Backup | Restore | Clone |
| - | - | - | - |
| Products | <Icon icon="circle-check" /> | <Icon icon="circle-check" /> | <Icon icon="circle-check" /> |
| Categories | <Icon icon="circle-check" /> | <Icon icon="circle-check" /> | <Icon icon="circle-check" /> |

| Customers | <Icon icon="circle-check" /> | <Icon icon="circle-check" /> | <Icon icon="circle-check" /> |
| Price lists | <Icon icon="circle-check" /> | <Icon icon="circle-check" /> | <Icon icon="circle-check" /> |

| Shared modifiers | <Icon icon="circle-check" /> | - | - |
| Themes | <Icon icon="circle-check" /> | - | - |
| Gift certificates | <Icon icon="circle-check" /> | - | - |
| Orders | <Icon icon="circle-check" /> | - | - |

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.

* Option sets
* 301 redirects
* Store settings (logos, branding, email templates)
* Third-party apps and their data
* Shipping data
* Widgets
* Theme customizations (changes made through the theme editor)
* Blueprint (legacy) themes
* Email subscribers
* Scripts (including Script Manager)
* Digital product files (for example, downloadable products)

## Request a new data type

The list of supported data types keeps growing. If you need coverage for a data type that isn't listed above, let us know at [support@backupmaster.io](mailto:support@backupmaster.io). Requests are prioritized based on customer demand and platform API availability.
