Import store data - restore from backup ZIP

Upload a backup ZIP on Import store data. The app validates the archive, runs an import job, and shows success, skip, and failure counts.

Use Backup history to re-download prior exports and migration job reports to retry failed records without re-uploading the full archive when supported.

How to upload a backup ZIP, validate the archive, and import or restore store data in Sbit: All-in-One Migration.

Last updated: May 15, 2026

Overview

The Import store data screen is where you bring a backup into your store. Upload a ZIP that was exported from this app (or download one from Backup history first), then run validation and start the import job. You can also use Backup history to restore a previous export without leaving the page.

All-in-one import archive

All-in-one import archive. Upload a ZIP produced by Sbit: Store Backup & Restore. Supported resources include products, customers, pages, discounts, and related store data. Older archives and unsupported resources are handled or tracked according to the job report.

Upload archive

In the Upload archive card, use Add files or drag a file into the drop zone. Only .zip files are accepted. The field is required before you can start an import.

Validate and start import

After you select a ZIP, click Validate and start import. The button stays disabled until a file is attached. The app checks the archive structure, then runs the import as a migration job you can follow from Jobs.

  1. Install the app on the destination store (if importing to a different shop).
  2. Open Import store data and add your export ZIP.
  3. Click Validate and start import.
  4. Review the job report when the import finishes - note imported, skipped, and failed rows.
  5. Retry failed records from the job details if the app offers retry (see FAQs).

Backup history

The Backup history table lists completed and failed exports for the current store. Columns include:

  • Date & time - when the backup was created.
  • Backup name - for example Partial backup or full export label.
  • Size - archive file size.
  • Data included - such as Selected data or all resources.
  • Status - Completed (green) or failed states.
  • Action - Restore and a more menu (…) for additional options.

Use the checkboxes on the left for bulk actions when available. Pagination at the bottom moves through older backup rows.

Restore from history

To reuse an export without hunting for the file on your computer, click Restore on a completed row. Download the backup ZIP, then import it using Upload archive above - or follow any in-app flow that attaches the archive for you.

Some data may not map one-to-one between stores (internal IDs, apps, or Shopify-only settings). Always read the import job report after restore and fix or retry items that still need attention.
