Rewind Backups

In the first week of use this app allowed me to roll back a small portion of the site after another app's install was done poorly. Very easy to use.

Amazing app keeps me safe and not having to worry about the site crashing

Think you don't need to backup your business if you’re using Shopify, think again.

Your website is built, hosted and maintained by the industry leader Shopify. They provide best in business eCommerce solutions for merchants. Let’s call this the foundation.

Everything built above the foundation is your business and responsibility. Products, Orders, Customers, Themes, Pages, Blogs and Collections.

We learned this the hard way. We had been using an app that was installed from the Shopify App store for approx. six months with no issues. The developers made an update to the app which changed some coding in our theme.liquid file basically shutting down our website for about 40 minutes until we could figure out what had happened. Fortunately, we were diligent about making back ups of our Theme file anytime an app was installed and or during our month end process. Take a look at your installed Apps and click the view details button. I bet you will be surprised what an app has access to and can modify.

The next thing that occurred in the last year was when we accidentally deleted a product collection containing approx. 75 sku’s. At first I thought, no big deal, I will just import the product_export file from Shopify that we had downloaded each month and we would be back up and running. Well, that was not the case. If you have ever tried to bulk import the product file with data into Shopify you know the challenge. If you have done any customization in your product description trying to get the Body (HTML) column to upload without any special characters is near impossible.

I also was under the misunderstanding that since we had uploaded our images to Shopify that if something happened we could just use the image source link contained in the product_export file to restore our images. We were wrong again! If you delete your product the hosted image is deleted immediately from Shopify.

After realizing that if something happened to our product file and if we only spent 5 minutes per sku fixing, it would take us 20 weeks working 40 hours per week restoring our product file to the original state. It is not a question of if but when you will need a backup and restore solution.

The app does exactly what it says it does and works well. We have tested by deleting group of products on purpose and then instantly rewinding them to their original state. The backup is automatic and occurs daily seamlessly. Set it and forget it until you need it.

For $1.30 or less per day how can you not have a back up and rewind solution for your business. Developers are great and very responsive!

Fantastic app. Easy to use and very clear with their tutorial right from the start. I personally needed an app to download a backup of my shop to my local drive, which Rewind doesn't offer per-se. I dropped them an email with my request and were very quick to answer and solve my issue. 10/10 would use for future shops.

This app gives me "peace of mind" knowing that my website, wrbstore, and products are protected from accidental deletion!

We went for the Paid version an essential app - sleep safe :)
