What Merchants Think

Merchants generally appreciate the reliability and peace of mind provided by "Rewind Backups" for e-commerce data protection. The app's customer service frequently receives high praise for being responsive and helpful, particularly in critical situations where data recovery is essential. However, there is notable dissatisfaction concerning recent price increases, which some users find steep and inadequately communicated.

Key Strengths

  • Exceptional customer service with swift, helpful responses
  • Reliable backup and restoration capabilities for peace of mind
  • Ease of setup and use
  • Proactive problem resolution by support staff

Common Concerns

  • Significant and abrupt price increases, lacking sufficient prior notice
  • Some instances of service failures during critical data restoration
  • Pricing model based on order count, which may not align with user needs
  • Limitations accessing data immediately after service termination

Final Thoughts

Overall, "Rewind Backups" is regarded as a highly effective backup solution, especially valued for its customer support and reliability in safeguarding data. Despite its strengths, the pricing strategy remains a contentious issue that risks overshadowing the app's beneficial features. For those who consider data recovery as critical, Rewind is recommended, provided the cost is justifiable for the business.

Has Potential, but not quite there yet - Very critical review, let me first say they have excellent customer service and quickly reached out to us explaining they do plan on improving every one of the shortfalls mentioned below within the next few months. Rewind has the Right idea, I hope they succeed in soon developing what they say because if so, i'll be back because traditional backups are a hassle. But at the moment basically there's not a chance id depend on this app to save us in an emergency situation. This will NOT do anything close to what Bigcommerce recommends you do for 100% site back. $120,000K in monthly sales revenue generated with our Bigcommerce store but if you're a hobbyist type business this might be fine for what you need. Any company using Bigcommerce as an important or essential part of business operations, Rewind is not your answer. If you're unfamiliar with how to create CVS backups .... than you better figure it out because this Rewind App isn't capable of "rewinding" more than 50% of your stores most important information. Just ask, they'll tell you the same thing If you have a real emergency, what good is 50% of your information without the other 50%??? Imagine a fire truck showing up on scene to put out a fire with no water, nice of them to show up but with only 50% of what you really need, it just doesn't cut it. Any stored data with this app is not viewable, only time stamped for a restore point by date. Sometimes you don't exactly know when things started to go wrong, it would be a guessing game to pick the best restore point. Great reviews for this app and it's why I tried Rewind but immediately after you make an account they ask for these reviews because if you leave them a review, its helps boost your stores SEO, and its true, but also why this app is way overrated. I felt the need to write this review when I realized after your signed up, they make you jump through some basic hoops to cancel Unlike other Apps. Ok totally my fault for downloading an App I thought could do more than what it actually does, at least give me an "Cancel Button" so I can just move on rather than wasting more of my time.

Rewind app - Rewind is an excellent app that has given us the backup capability on our BigCommerce store we have been looking for. It backs all our products, categories, IMAGES (!!!), and even things like bulk pricing and option sets we were not able to back up before. It runs automatically or we can tell to do a manual backup at any time. Highly recommend it for BigCommerce store users so that you don't lose products and spend hours and days trying to recover the information.

Rewind Backup App - We are SO happy to have this App for automatic backups. What a relief! We definitely won't miss the drudgery involved in making full manual backups of our Big Commerce site. While we will still occasionally make a manual backup version to keep for emergencies, the time savings and peace of mind is HUGE!

This backup system works perfectly for our needs. - We use an app that in worst case may delete some of our onsite SEO work on product pages. After installing Rewind, I feel much more at ease. Now that we have a great backup system we don't need to worry about losing countless of working hours and a lot of money spent!

Easy + it works = peace of mind - We've just finished the week trial and have used it to restore several mistakes when updating photos or descriptions. No stress, just go to your apps, click Rewind and look in your vault - the most recent work is right there. Open what you need, see the timeline and click the version you want - no more worry! Each and every item is backed up in real time as any change is made - inventory changes from staff or orders, updates to the item or anything else. Your entire site is backed up daily as well. This is what peace of mind looks like!

Quick to Install, Easy to Use and It Works! - The thought of recreating over 1000 products has been a source of anxiety for years. This great service ensures all the work you have done on your website will not be lost, for a price that is almost unbelievable. One click installations is simple to use, in minutes we could view all our products in Rewind, so we were sure that the backup was complete. Quick, Easy and Affordable for everyone!

So far so good! - I am happy with this so far. I have been told that there are more great things to come with this app, so I am looking forward to that. I personally would like to see 100% full backups like templates, sku's, etc. I like it that it's basically baked into BC so restoring looks very simple.

So pleased to have my products backed up! - I have spent 2 years getting 600 products onto my website. My worst nightmare was to lose 2 years of work! When I stumbled across 'Rewind' it was a no-brainer. For just $5 per month I had all of my products backed up every night. It was easy to install, and the products were backed up almost instantly. It's brilliant, and gives me great peace of mind. Looking forward to enhancements to back up 'Reviews' and 'Categories' too! I thoroughly recommend this product. Paul @ Body and Mind Studio, UK.
