I have successfully restored in the past with Rewind. I used to have a good review for this app.
We triggered a blog restore on a Friday and were not able to recover the data until one of their support members restored it manually on the folowing Tuesday. By that time, we were no longer getting traffic on previously highly ranked keyword. If this would have been product data, we would have been out of business for 3 days, since there was nobody on the other side to provide support.
A backup tool must have integrity, availability and reliability. By being unable to restore, 2 of these were broken, and my trust on this app with them. Moving to another solution.
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience with Rewind has changed from a previous 5-star review.
Our support team has followed up and restored your blogs.
On the weekend support, we hear you. Our current standard support hours don't include the weekend, but we never want our valued customers to feel left alone. We do our very best to get back to all enquiries as quickly as possible, in the order they are received.
We migrated from Bigcommerce to Shopify. We trust Rewind to provide backups in case of any unfortunate data loss. We used Rewind on our Bigcommerce store and we are thrilled to be able to continue to use Rewind with Shopify. Great support. Very helpful!!
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're happy to hear that you were able to continue using Rewind after the migration and that Stephan, on our customer support team, helped you get everything sorted out.
We recently required support for a highly complex technical issue. The service we received was exceptional in every regard. The team was immediately available for a call to diagnose the situation, demonstrating a high level of responsiveness and expertise.
Most impressively, they developed a custom solution to address our specific requirements, a gesture that far exceeded our expectations. The implementation was flawless and resolved our issue completely and efficiently.
This level of dedication and technical capability is rare. We are thoroughly impressed and grateful for their outstanding support. A truly five-star experience.
The only time I ever needed to revert to a back-up due to a coding mix-up, I learned it was not automatic and I needed to contact someone to do it. With response times taking 2 days each time, it was quite frustrating. You can imagine, when you need to revert your website due to a coding error, you want it to revert asap. I ended up just hiring a coder to fix it. That said, I decided to continue using the app as a fail-safe, just in case. However, with their recent announcement that they are taking a *100%* price increase (yes, 100%) next month, I am moving on to another backup app. I get the cost of business is going up, but for an app with no COGs, no Tariffs, etc, a 100% increase is ridiculous. Bye bye.
We’re sorry this didn’t go as quickly as you needed. Rewind backs up and restores themes—including .liquid code—and in most stores, recovery is automated, requiring just a few clicks. In some cases, custom code and ongoing code changes can make an automated rollback more involved. In these cases, we aim to move fast to help. If we missed the mark here, we apologize.
This app has saved us BIG TIME on at least two occasions. The restore process is delightfully easy. Fantastic app. Can't recommend it enough.
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.
There are other better options. Some of our SKUs got corrupted due to an incorrect file upload. The back-up restore feature did not work.When we contacted support, there was no response. When they need to increase your plan and charge more money, they seem to have enough resources for that. This app has proved to be useless to us. Find someone else.
We’re sorry we didn’t meet your expectations. We know how frustrating it is when things don’t go as planned. There are always edge cases and restoring data after complex updates can sometimes require extra context from the team involved. We’ll use the experience to keep improving how we support our customers.
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.
The team are fantastic - they've been so responsive and helpful in helping us get going with over 20+ stores! The piece of mind knowing they're backing up is amazing; with so many products, orders, content - and a large team engaging in the site management - it's great to know the backups will be there should we ever need them.
App did not backup and restore Variant data and metafields. The AI Chat and help files inform of API limitations, but other Apps can do it. Look elsewhere and save yourself the pain of data loss.
