If you accidentally delete important data like SPAs, deals, or tasks, don't worry. Bitrix24 automatically creates daily backups of all your data and keeps them safe for seven days, allowing you to restore your information with ease.

To recover your data, submit a request to Bitrix24 Support. Our support specialists will locate the backup for the specified date and restore your Bitrix24 to its previous state. Note that any changes made after the selected date will be lost. Before contacting support, ensure the data can't be restored from the recycle bin.

Assess the need for restoration

Data restoration returns the entire Bitrix24 account to a previous state on a chosen date, affecting data for all employees. Restoring data for just one employee isn’t possible. Before contacting support, make sure a full restoration is truly needed.

For example, if an employee only deleted a couple of contacts or a single deal, restoring the entire account wouldn't be practical since you might lose more new data than you recover.

Full Bitrix24 backup restoration is helpful in these cases:

• Large-scale data loss occurs, such as when critical data like a list of deals, all tasks, or an important SPA is deleted.

• Unintended data changes happen, like when an employee accidentally merges all duplicate contacts and companies.

• Post-import issues arise, such as losing settings or data after importing solution presets.

Request data restoration

If you can’t recover individual data, restore the entire Bitrix24 account to a previous state on a chosen date. Here’s how:

Step 1: Submit a request
The Bitrix24 administrator needs to send a request to technical support. The request must include a specific date for restoration. Data can only be restored from the past seven days.

Step 2: Backup verification
The technical support team will verify if suitable backups are available and inform you of the next steps.

Step 3: Plan confirmation
If your current plan doesn’t include restoration, support specialists will suggest upgrading to a plan that does. Once you upgrade, they will proceed with the restoration.

Step 4: Restoration process
During restoration, Bitrix24 will be temporarily locked to prevent data conflicts. The time it takes depends on the amount of data in your account.

Step 5: Post-restoration
After restoration, all data added or modified after the selected date will be permanently deleted.
