Backup application before an update
Requirement
Perform a one time backup of a Zoho Creator application.
Use case
Let's assume an employee management application needs to be enhanced with a new feature to streamline the attendance system. Before we edit the application, the company would like to back up their application and data as a precautionary measure. Zoho Creator's backup feature can help with this.
Steps to follow
1. Install the Employee Management gallery application.
2. Add a few sample data to the application and let's proceed to backup.
3. Under Operations, select Backup and click Create New button.
4. Create a one-time backup with the following details.
5. The created backup will be stored under Backup tab.

Points to note
- The backup we created in this tutorial will be automatically deleted after 1 month as configured. You can also force-delete the backup when required. To do so, hover over the required backup and click on the horizontal ellipsis icon (three dots). Delete, Restore, and Download options will be available.
- Downloading a backup will be stored in your local disk in a .zip file format. It will include the Deluge script file and a set of .csv files containing the application data. You can create a new application by importing this Deluge script file and you can use other files to import the data.
- Restoring a backup will create a new application with the backed-up version.
- You can also schedule periodic backups to run at a specified intervals.
