HikaShop is not a backup extension and doesn't have backup features, and there never was a one click backup and import button in HikaShop. If you want to backup your website, you can use Akeeba Backup. The "export database tables, import, copy to new tables and migrate images" method you're talking about is when you want to migrate a HikaShop from one Joomla website to another Joomla website, regardless of the version of Joomla on either websites.

For instance, we currently are having issues exporting all our products. We hit export to csv and everything is in one cell by itself. Its not separated in rows, columns or anything of the sort to be able to manipulate data to import it on other platforms. Making it seem that hikashop is proprietary and you have to start donig some excel work to get things organized right.

The problem is with the software you're using to open it which doesn't offer you by default an interface to select the separator or automatically detects it. Plus, there is actually a setting in HikaShop to select which separator to use for the exports, in order to better match with your software: [ www.hikashop.com/forum/import-export-csv...products.html#287995](https://www.hikashop.com/forum/import-export-csv-xls/893262-how-to-export-a-csv-of-hikashop-products.html#287995) Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzUwLWZlYXR1cmUtcmVxdWVzdC85MDY0NTEtYmFja3VwLWFuZC1pbXBvcnQ/dG1wbD1tYXJrZG93bg==) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation.
