ProBackup vs
Rewind forTrello

When your team relies on Trello to manage projects, your boards contain valuable information, from daily tasks to strategic plans. A reliable backup solution keeps your data safe, recoverable, and always accessible.

Two leading tools in this space are ProBackup and Rewind. Both offer automated, cloud-based backups for Trello, but they differ significantly in flexibility, feature depth, and integration potential.

Whether you're a small team seeking peace of mind or an enterprise managing multiple workspaces, this guide will help you choose the right solution.

What data gets backed up?

Both ProBackup and Rewind protect the core elements of your Trello workspace. For Trello specifically, ProBackup backs up teams, users, workspaces, boards, cards, custom fields, attachments, comments, checklists, labels, and lists.

What neither tool backs up: Automations, Power-Ups, and Views are not included because Trello's API does not 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.

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

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

Download any table to Excel with a single click. For larger datasets that exceed browser limits, request a full export via email.

Attachment downloads

View and download your backed-up attachments directly. While Rewind backs up attachments, there's no way to view or export files to your local device. ProBackup Premium users can bulk download all attachments for a selected board.

Sync to Google Drive

Create an additional copy of your backups in Google Drive . This provides a fallback in a familiar format. From there, you can set up automatic downloads to your local device using Desktop for Drive, giving you an extra layer of protection.

Proactive alerts

ProBackup actively monitors for suspicious activity. If there's an unusual spike in deletions or a significant decrease in backed-up cards, admins receive an email alert. This early warning system helps you catch problems before they become disasters, protecting against human error, malicious users, or technical glitches .

Advanced scope control

Premium users can exclude specific boards from their backup scope if needed, giving you complete control over what 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, weekly status updates, global search
• 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.
