Automate regular exports of your backed-up Shopify data to email or Google Drive on a weekly or monthly basis.
Automate regular exports of your backed-up Shopify data to email or Google Drive on a weekly or monthly basis. BackupMaster stores your data in secure backup storage — that’s your primary backup. Scheduled exports create regular extra copies on your local drive or Google Drive, following the 3-2-1 backup rule (three copies of your data, on two different storage types, with one stored offsite).
A Google account with available Drive storage (for Google Drive delivery)
