Rewind Backups

Rewind Backups protects data held in business SaaS and cloud services. It is best suited to organizations whose critical systems appear among its integrations and that need both item-level recovery and whole-account restoration. The main trade-off is that pricing, retention and capabilities differ materially by application.

Overview

Rewind has worked on SaaS and cloud-data protection since 2015. It covers Shopify, BigCommerce, QuickBooks Online, GitHub, Bitbucket, Trello, Jira, Confluence, Jira Service Management, Klaviyo, Mailchimp, Azure DevOps, Miro and monday.com. That breadth is useful for companies with several supported services, but each service remains its own buying decision rather than one uniform, interchangeable plan.

Automated daily backups create a regular recovery point. Granular restores can target a single data item, while account-level restores address wider loss; point-in-time recovery is especially useful when a specific change or incident must be reversed without replacing everything.

Key features

• Daily protection: Scheduled daily backups suit routine SaaS protection and reduce reliance on manual exports. They are less suitable where recovery points must be more frequent than once per day.
• Granular and full restores: Selecting individual items limits collateral changes; full-account recovery provides a path back from broad deletion or corruption.
• Audit trail: The audit log records backups, restores, logins and account changes, giving administrators a usable record of activity.
• Security and residency: Rewind says its platform is SOC 2 Type 2 and GDPR compliant. Customers can choose global cloud-storage locations for geographic requirements such as GDPR or HIPAA, and the SOC 2 report is available under NDA.
• Support: Email and chat support operates seven days a week. Support specialists and data engineers can assist with restores regardless of plan, an important safeguard when recovery is urgent.

Pricing

Rewind uses a freemium model, with a free plan and a 14-day trial. Application-specific pricing means the right choice depends on the service, team size and required retention.

• Azure DevOps Professional: $1 per user per month, with daily backups, 365-day history, granular recovery and on-demand exports. It is a low-cost fit for Azure DevOps teams that need a year of history.
• Bitbucket Pro: $2 per user per month, adding 365-day history, unlimited cloud storage and on-demand backup exports to daily backups. It suits repositories where export flexibility and long retention matter.
• GitHub Individual: $14 a month for personal GitHub accounts only, with unlimited repository backups, 30-day retention and on-demand recovery. The personal-account restriction and shorter retention make it unsuitable for organizations needing team coverage or a year of history.
• GitHub Pro: $14 a month, billed at $4 per user per month, for up to 99 users. It includes unlimited repository backups, 30-day retention and an audit log. It is the organizational GitHub option, but the 30-day window is narrower than the 365-day histories on the Azure DevOps and Bitbucket plans.
• Jira Standard: $40 a month as a flat fee for organizations under 10 users. It provides daily backups, unlimited storage, one-year retention, granular point-in-time restore and AES-256 encryption, making it the clearer Jira choice for smaller teams wanting predictable coverage.
• Jira Advanced: $80 USD per month, with daily backups at a chosen time, configurable retention from 90 days to three years, plus BYOK, BYOS and HIPAA and DORA compliance features. It is aimed at regulated or larger operations that need control beyond Standard; the minimum retention option can be less than Standard's one year.

Plans without a published price use custom pricing. Compare retention and account eligibility before assuming one application's terms carry over to another.

Platforms

Rewind is delivered on the web. Its supported SaaS applications span commerce, accounting, development, project management, marketing and collaboration, including Shopify, BigCommerce, QuickBooks Online, GitHub, Bitbucket, Trello, Jira, Confluence, Jira Service Management, Klaviyo, Mailchimp, Azure DevOps, Miro and monday.com.

Who it's for

Choose Rewind when your business depends on one or more supported SaaS services and needs a managed recovery layer rather than isolated manual copies. It is particularly compelling for administrators who value item-level restores, audit history, selectable storage geography or specialist recovery help. Look elsewhere if your key application is outside the integration list, if daily rather than more frequent backups are insufficient, or if a 30-day application plan cannot meet your retention requirement.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Daily automated backups across a broad set of business SaaS applications.
• Granular, point-in-time and full-account recovery address both narrow mistakes and major loss.
• Storage-location choices and stated SOC 2 Type 2 and GDPR compliance support governance needs.
• Seven-day email and chat support includes specialists and data engineers on every plan.

Cons

• Retention, eligibility and pricing vary by application, complicating multi-service budgeting.
• GitHub plans retain backups for only 30 days; Individual is restricted to personal accounts.
• Daily scheduling may not satisfy workloads that need intraday recovery points.

Verdict

Rewind Backups is a strong choice for businesses built around its supported SaaS ecosystem, especially those that need precise restores, account recovery and governance controls. Choose it for the combination of daily protection and recovery assistance; look elsewhere when your application is unsupported, daily frequency is too sparse, or the service's retention and user limits do not fit your risk profile.
