Data Backup
Zoho Invoice allows you to export your complete organizational data as a single compressed file. The compressed file will consist of CSV files that belong to various modules of Zoho Invoice.
Note:
- You should have Admin access to initiate a data backup in a Zoho Invoice organization.
- It may take up to 30 minutes to receive the download link after initiating a backup.
- The download link for your backed up data will expire 30 days post the date of your backup.
- Once a backup is initiated, you can’t backup your data for the next 15 days.
