Based on the knowledge sources, Mixpanel provides several options for backing up your company's event data:
Backup Options
1. Data Pipelines - If you're on an Enterprise or Growth plan, you can use Data Pipelines as an add-on package to export your Mixpanel data to various destinations:
- Cloud storage solutions like Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure Blob Storage
- Data warehouses like BigQuery2. Raw Event Export API - You can use the Raw Event Export API to export your event data. This is useful for backing up historical data or migrating between projects.3. CSV Export - For smaller volumes of data, you can export events as CSV files directly from the Mixpanel UI through the Events tab.4. Automatic Backups with Mixpanel Utils - The Mixpanel Utils library automatically creates backups when performing operations like people_delete
or people_set
on your data.
How to Access Backup Data
To access your backup data, you can: 1. Use the Raw Event Export API: LBKScurl --request GET \ --url '[https://data.mixpanel.com/api/2.0/export?from_date=<FROM_DATE](https://data.mixpanel.com/api/2.0/export?from_date=<FROM_DATE) &to_date=<TO_DATE> &limit=100&event=<EVENT_NAME> >' \ --header 'accept: text/plain' \ --header 'authorization: Basic YOUR_TOKEN'LBKS
2. Export Events as CSV: Navigate to the Events tab, query the events you want to export, and click the "Export" button in the top right corner.3. Access Data Pipeline Exports: If you've set up Data Pipelines, you can access your backed-up data directly in your configured destination (S3, GCS, Azure Blob Storage, or data warehouse).For historical data loading during migrations, Mixpanel recommends using their data warehouse connector or Import API to import data to Mixpanel.Note that the availability of some of these options depends on your Mixpanel plan, with Data Pipelines being available as an add-on for Enterprise or Growth plans.
