Back up CRM data

Last updated: April 8, 2026

Available with any of the following subscriptions, except where noted:

You can create a backup of your CRM data to store in a file outside of HubSpot. CRM data backups include all records and property values for the following objects: contacts, companies, deals, tickets, custom objects, products, calls, conversations, and tasks. Associations and activity data are not included in a data backup.

Please note: if you have properties that store Sensitive Data, sensitive values are included in the CRM data backup. For this reason, ensure you store your backup file in a secure location.

Subscription required  

  • A Starter or Professional subscription is required to back up your data once per week.
