Creating a Backup
1
Open the Backups tab
Navigate to Settings → Backups and click New Backup.
2
Choose what to back up
Check one or both:
- Firepanel configuration — content types, components, members, tags, and messaging configuration
- Firestore data — a full export of your Firestore database
If the Firestore data checkbox is disabled, Firepanel shows why (plan, database mode, or missing Storage bucket — see Requirements).
3
Choose a destination (data backups only)
If you checked Firestore data, pick the Cloud Storage bucket and destination folder (defaults to backups) the export should be written to.
4
Name and start
Optionally give the backup a name to identify it later, then click Create. The backup runs in the background — see Runs and Progress.
