Last editetd on 15 June 2026

Pro JoomBook can export your JoomBook data as a ZIP archive and import it again - ideal for backups or migrating to another installation.

This feature is available from the Pro Plan onwards.

Export and import are located under JoomBook → Settings → General Settings in the "Export Data" and "Import Data" cards.

Exporting Data

  1. Tick the desired sections under "Select the data sections to export"
  2. Click Start Export

A ZIP archive is downloaded containing the selected sections as structured data. Available sections:

  • Settings & Colour Scheme
  • Locations
  • Services & Categories
  • Staff (incl. working hours)
  • Customers GDPR
  • Appointments GDPR
  • Notification Log
Customer and appointment data is subject to the GDPR and is not ticked by default. Store export files securely.

Importing Data

  1. Under "Import Data", upload your JoomBook import file (.zip) and click Upload & Verify File
  2. The confirmation screen shows the included data sections
  3. Choose the import mode:
    • Merge - existing data is kept, new records are added
    • Overwrite - affected tables are cleared and re-populated
  4. Click Start Import Now
In "Overwrite" mode, all existing data for the included sections is permanently deleted. Create a backup first.
