# About Operations

> **Note for app developers:** Wix Data APIs require the site's [code editor](https://dev.wix.com/docs/develop-websites/articles/get-started/development-environments.md) to be enabled. If you are building a Wix app, add a [data collections extension](https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/develop-your-app/extensions/backend-extensions/data-collections/about-data-collections-extensions.md) to automatically enable the code editor and create data collections when your app is installed on a site.


The Wix Data Operations APIs enable you to manage background processes and maintenance tasks for a site's data. Use these APIs to ensure data integrity, perform bulk data management, and monitor long-running data processes.

These APIs include:

- [Backups](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/cms/operations/backups/introduction.md): Create and restore data backups.
- [Background tasks](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/cms/operations/background-tasks/introduction.md): Execute asynchronous background tasks.
- [Data movement jobs](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/cms/operations/data-movement-jobs/introduction.md): Manage and track the progress of large-scale data movement operations.
