Zoho Billing administrators can request CSV data backups and a separate ZIP document backup under Settings > Developer & Data > Data Backup. The document package covers uploads since the previous document backup. See Data Backup.
Prepare a usable archive
Keep successive document packages together. The current US guide specifies 15 days between backup requests and 30-day download links. Module exports offer CSV/XLS/XLSX; verify the regional edition and split large extracts using the documented row limits. Related official guidance: Export Data.
Build the export inventory
| Record group | What makes it usable later |
|---|---|
| Customers and contacts | Source person/company IDs, names, email and parent organization/site; preserve inactive and duplicate-name mappings |
| Subscriptions and plans | Customer and contract/plan IDs, effective dates, renewal terms, rates and linked services; preserve source status |
| Invoices and line items | Document and customer IDs, line items, currency, tax, totals, balances and payment allocations; reconcile financial meaning |
| Payments, credits, and hosted-page references | Document and customer IDs, line items, currency, tax, totals, balances and payment allocations; reconcile financial meaning |
Validate formats and attachments
Open CSV or spreadsheet output with dates and identifiers intact. Validate JSON pagination and error handling. Download and verify file contents as well as metadata while authenticated or time-limited URLs remain accessible.
Prepare for migration
Count records by type and year, sample the oldest and most complex items, save field dictionaries, and document missing modules. Use the PSA migration checklist before cancellation.
Keep the source history useful
Store the original export, field definitions, file manifest and validation results together. Follow the source archive planning use case and keep the archive readable after cutover.
Apply the regional export limit
The US Export Data guide describes status, date and export-template controls and a first-25,000-row limit. Use the documented data-backup route for larger datasets, or reconcile intentionally filtered exports. Record the edition and region with each package; confirm the corresponding regional procedure for UK, Australian, Canadian or other organizations before applying US module and field assumptions.
