Hi there.
I am newbie on Bubble and much interested.
However I didn’t find any information about possible backup system.
From one day to another, could I make whole website backup ?
And eventually restore it ?
I am just using free account version so far.
Thanks.
Hi and welcome @patlamenace
Backup and restore is handled through export and import. The app itself is stored in one JSON file and can be backed up and restored throgh the Export Application and Import Application buttons in Settings → General. I think this is only available on paid plans.
The app’s database can be exported and imported as well, as explained in the manual: Export/import data | Bubble Docs
Keep in mind that the app and its database, for this purpose, are separate.
Thanks @AndyMountHood !
Indeed it is only on paid plans.
However there is a link “Copy and restore database”, even on free plans.
But Database is not the whole thing about website backup, right?
Right, it’s just the database, not the app itself.
I recommend taking screenshots of your app (how it looks to a user). That way, if things went wrong, you would be able to use it as a guide to help you rebuild it. People who are new to Bubble often build their app the first time in a way which turns out to be difficult to maintain, so many of them start over and rebuild it in a better way. The screenshots help with that.

What is that? planbbackups ?
It is not part of bubble io account right?
You can clone your app (+/- database). Downside it’s not easily restorable back to the primary app. But it gives a snapshot of the data at the time, as well as the app’s elements/logic.
