Data Backup

Data Backup

The Data Backup feature in Zoho People allows you to securely transfer your organizational data from Zoho People servers to your own servers. These backups include form based data (Employee Information, Leave, Performance, etc.) and files from your Zoho People organization account. You can schedule backups to ensure your data is automatically saved at regular intervals without needing any manual effort.
Notes
  1. Data backup feature is only available for the enterprise plan. Other Plan users can manually back up the data of each form using the export option, navigate to Operations > Select the Service > Select the required form > Click the Ellipsis > Choose the Export option.
  2. A maximum of 5 backups can be done in a month.
  3. Only the last 7 backups will be available for download via the links sent to your email
  4. Time Logs, Timesheets and Attendance data are not included in the automatic backup. To back up this data, you must manually back up using the export option on the Operations page.
