Merchants highly recommend this backup service for its reliability and seamless operation, praising its user-friendly interface and effective data restoration capabilities. They appreciate the responsive and professional customer support, especially during critical situations. The app is valued for providing security and peace of mind, particularly for businesses managing multiple stores, with many referring to it as a "lifesaver" in data loss scenarios.

Don't use this app. It's fine in case of a data crash, but if you want to export your data with less than 6 months of subscription, they flatly refuse. If you want to temporarily stop your activity while keeping your data, it will be impossible...
Thank you for highlighting the main reason Rewind exists: to help merchants recover quickly in the event of a crash or data loss.
We’re sorry that our current approach to data exports didn’t meet your expectations. Full JSON exports require hands-on work from our support team, we do limit them so we can provide consistent, timely assistance to all Rewind customers. Our team is actively exploring ways to make export options more flexible in the future, and we appreciate your feedback. We're always looking for ways to make Rewind even better.
Stephan is very helpful. I appreciate what this app does.
We’ve been using Rewind Backups for about a month, and it’s been a great experience so far. We accidentally uploaded a SKU spreadsheet to the wrong store, but thanks to Rewind we were able to quickly revert and avoid any issues.
1. prices got higer, but ok. Everythings getting more expensive
2. i tried to import a csv and tested it first. With a few products. Some of them have variants. After I saw the import failed and the variants are gone, I restored it with rewind. After that, the variants were back, but with wrong inventory.
After asking AI how to backup and restore the inventory amount etc. as well, it says it´s not possible at all.
But on the website it says, this tool does backup the inventory as well.
So, higher prices for less than promised. Now I am not sure if i can rely on other things as well...
lets see what the support can tell here.
We're sorry this wasn't the smooth experience you expected. Rewind does back up and restore products, variants, images, and much more, and in most cases, restoring is seamless and only takes a few clicks. You're right that inventory is not backed up. This is a Shopify API limitation.
Every store setup is a little different, which can occasionally affect how restores behave. Our team can work with you to make sure this isn't an issue going forward. Please check your inbox for a note from our support team so we can resolve this with you.
company violates shopify subscription policy, and makes cancellation nearly impossible. Had to reinstall and go through a process that was not previously available to "uninstall". I have sent countless emails requesting cancellations and they still charge our account. I also had to reinstall the app just to leave this review, and now will uninstall.
Not worth it. We have paid for over 3 years and never needed to use it once. Canceled due to a 533% price increase (from $3 to $19/month), with no noticeable improvement in value. Sudden price hikes like this break trust, especially for a "just-in-case" app. Hope this feedback helps others make an informed decision.
Data disasters happen all the time. We're glad you've never experienced one and we hope you never do. You don't have to use Rewind but we would caution that having a backup—and a way to restore data seamlessly in event of a disaster—is a must.
Rewind is about preparedness and knowing that if you ever have a problem, you have a clear, quick path to get back to business as usual.
I wanted insurance that all my long hours building a replacement Shopify store would not be lost. Rewind just worked in the background with a weekly reassuring backup summary email. Until I trusted some AI liquid coding advice too blindly and needed to restore three different templates. The process was self explanatory, easy to understand without any need for documentation or contact with support.
When it came time to replace my site, things became a bit tangled with my confusion and Shopify's back-end. Everything was finally straightened out but my new store was not able to be backed up via Rewind anymore. After a few very prompt, patient, support emails, it was suggested a zoom call would be the best way forward. It was nice to put a face to Stephan, who had mainly been supporting my issues, and that remote support session put things right; all very friendly and professional. I'm now looking forward to quiet background backups once again, where I get my work done but secure in knowing if something happens I've got a tested recourse.
Thank you everybody at Rewind.
Were very supportive and helpful during our data migration. Very happy with the service and the security of knowing our data is backed up.
I always install this app in my personal projects, and I also have my clients install it. I believe it is essential for any serious business to have an automatic backup of everything, so that they can recover a very recent version of only what is necessary at any given time. Best wishes to the team!
After doing a backup, certain in-text images did not get restored. Contacted support, although they were nice, could not fix the issue and said that Rewind Backups does not include these images. I had to manually fix many, many product pages and put these images back.
Then, a few weeks later these images were again removed, without doing a backup. Again, this is costing us many hours of manual work to restore these images.
We had a paid subscription and expected better performance.
If you are looking for an app that restores ALL aspects of your site, including all images, then don't use this app.
Thank you for your feedback and sorry for the hassle you experienced with restoring images.
To clarify, Rewind backs up and restores the exact HTML of your product descriptions, along with images that are properly attached to Shopify resources like products, variants, and collections. In your case, some of the images were added as standalone media via hard-coded URLs, which unfortunately means they weren’t linked to Shopify objects and couldn’t be included in the backup.
The best way to ensure full image coverage is to upload them using Shopify’s image picker. That way, the images are “attached” and Rewind can capture and restore them automatically.
We appreciate you highlighting this. Your feedback helps others avoid similar pain and gives us insight into where expectations can be clearer. Thanks again.
