Which backup solution is right for you?
When your team relies on Trello to manage projects, your boards become a repository of valuable information: from daily tasks to strategic plans.
A reliable backup solution ensures your data stays safe, recoverable, and always within reach. ProBackup and Rewind are top contenders in the backup space, each with distinct strengths in flexibility and features. We'll look at their backup and restore capabilities, data accessibility, and pricing models to help you make an informed decision.
What data gets backed up?
Both ProBackup and Rewind protect the core elements of your Trello workspace. ProBackup specifically covers teams, users, workspaces, boards, cards, custom fields, attachments, comments, checklists, labels, and lists.
Important limitation
Neither tool backs up Automations, Power-Ups, or Views. This isn't a limitation of the backup solutions themselves: Trello's API simply doesn't make these data types available
Backup and restore capabilities
What they have in common
Both tools provide daily, automated backups that create fresh snapshots of your Trello data. No scheduling required: backups run automatically every 24 hours.
Where ProBackup goes further
When restoring data, Rewind limits you to restoring entire boards to a previous point in time. ProBackup offers significantly more flexibility.
With ProBackup, you can restore :
- Boards with all cards, comments, and attachments included
- Individual cards with descriptions, members, attachments, custom field values, comments, checklists, and labels
- Comments as duplicates in the related card
- Files directly to the related card
- Custom fields (when the original has been deleted)
- Labels (when the original has been deleted)
This granular approach means you can fix specific issues without overwriting your entire board.
Accessing your data backups
Rewind's approach
Rewind offers search functionality where you can search by text string and filter by data type. Clicking a record lets you compare it with the latest version and view previous versions.
ProBackup's enhanced navigation
ProBackup provides a similar global search feature, plus a more structured way to explore your data. You can:
- Navigate boards using a tree structure
- Use tabs to view different data types (cards, comments, files) for each board
- Use the date picker to travel back in time and see how boards have evolved
- Browse and compare the versions that were created for each record
This combination of sidepane navigation and data type tabs provides an intuitive, granular view of your Trello history. Unlike Rewind, you can view all cards or files for a specific board at once.
Key features that set ProBackup apart
ProBackup offers several powerful features that Rewind does not provide:
Excel exports
Export any data table to Excel with a single click. For larger datasets, request a complete export delivered via email.
Attachment downloads
View and download your backed-up files directly from the platform. ProBackup Premium users can bulk download all attachments for a selected project.
Sync to Google Drive
Create a secondary copy of your backups in Google Drive. This provides redundancy in a format your team already knows. Combined with Desktop for Drive, you can automate local downloads for an additional layer of protection.
Proactive alerts
ProBackup watches for unusual activity in your account. If there is a sudden increase in deletions or a notable drop in backed-up cards, administrators receive an email notification. This early warning system helps you respond quickly to accidental deletions, malicious actions, or technical problems.
Advanced scope control
Premium subscribers can exclude specific projects from their backup scope if needed, providing complete control over what data gets protected.
Pricing model differences
Rewind's pricing approach
Rewind uses a simple per-board model: $5 for the first five boards, then $1 per additional board. This structure works for small teams but can scale quickly as your Trello usage expands.
ProBackup's flexible tiers
ProBackup offers three scalable plans :
- Plus: $25/month, Core backup and restore
- Pro: $38/month, Google Drive sync, status updates, global search and proactive alerts
- Premium, $76/month, SSO, priority support, audit reports
What makes this model stand out is cross-platform coverage. One ProBackup licence protects all your supported SaaS tools, not just Trello. Your backup plan can include Asana, ClickUp, Monday, HubSpot, Slack, Notion, Jira, Confluence, and more, all under one secure account.
Rewind requires separate subscriptions for each integration. For organisations managing multiple apps, ProBackup's unified approach can significantly reduce costs and simplify administration.
