Magento 2 Backup Methods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The built-in backup system in Magento 2 has been deprecated as of versions 2.1.16<\/strong>, 2.2.7<\/strong>, and 2.3.0<\/strong>. Even though the backup feature is disabled by default, it is still possible to create backups using the Magento Admin or the command line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note:<\/strong> If you are still using Magento 1, find out how to <\/strong>plan and complete a <\/strong>migration from Magento 1 to Magento 2<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Future Magento 2 versions are likely to discontinue and eliminate the backup feature. Performing manual backups or using a third-party system or extension is going to become the primary method for backing up a Magento store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
