Hi bdavis
I'm sorry but I'm not sure I understand what you mean.
All the ATUM data is being stored on your database (the same thing WooCommerce or any other plugin that needs preserving the data does).
If you need to back up your data, just back up your database.
If you are pushing a staging environment to a live site, you shouldn't move the database (or you could also lose your orders, etc). If you just move files, you don't have to worry about it.
I hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Salva.
