Works perfectly. When we had an issue, the customer support was incredible. Worked over the weekend to fix the issue ASAP
Does exactly what it is supposed to, gives us some peace of mind.
Great service great app!!
So easy and simple to use
Thank you!!
We have two backup apps installed for maximum protection, this one and one other. Both apps are excellent. Talon does a great job with individual blog recovery (we have tested this as we prep our blogs) and individual product recovery, which we have used multiple times to experiment with different product descriptions and changes. We use another excellent app from this developer as well, the recently viewed app is also great.
Love this app! I'm busy and forgetful so AB's is a lifesaver!
Looks like a great app for an added level of safety against goofs.
This app work seamlessly with Shopify. My backups are automatically done and it's one less thing I have to worry about.
It works. It's priced right. Hopefully I never need it to do a restore but for peace of mind it's great to have this in place. I know how easy it is to goof things up when you add some other app and try it out then remove it and it leaves things a mess in your store. Been there. Done that. Got Talon for backups!
works, does what it says. handy to monitor changes. I like that it keeps the blogs and theme data changes for at least a month. Also can monitor any changes well.
Doesn't seem to backup orders. You'd think orders would be the most important thing on a shopping site.
Update: I'm changing my reply to reflect that the app can now indeed back up orders optionally, but could not at the time of the review.
For a long time, the app did not back up customer or order records for three reasons:
1. This type of data is very sensitive, and many shops do not want apps to have access to it. The app still does not request access to these records unless you explicitly turn it on (still).
2. Order records in Shopify cannot be fully restored by any app because details such as payment information are hidden from all apps. The complete record simply is not available.
Customer records, likewise, cannot full restore customer login passwords for the same reason - no app can restore these as no app has access to them.
3. Completed order records are not deletable, only archivable. This means that the only reason you would need such a feature is if Shopify themselves lost the record, which, to my knowledge, hasn't happened.
These reasons remain true. Still, having a backup of the data that apps can access is comforting to many businesses, and the feature was often requested. Therefore, I implemented it as an optional feature.
