Backup & Restore is now Pro Backup
In today’s post we wanted to give you an update on Backup & Restore. In short, we have built a better version of Backup & Restore for Podio and named it Pro Backup. In the next few weeks your account & license will be migrated to this new backup app so that you can make use of its features.
Why did we build Pro Backup?
When we launched Backup & Restore about six years ago, it became immediately clear that there was a huge demand for an independent, 3rd party backup for Podio. Over time we realized that there is a similar need for other popular cloud apps to be backed up as well. That’s why we built a new & better back app, to incorporate all the lessons learned and also make it easy to integrate other cloud apps.
What are the new features of Pro Backup?
Apart from enhanced security and better performance, Pro Backup is adding some powerful key features compared to Backup & Restore for Podio. Here’s an overview of the key differences between the two apps.
Pro Backup
You can access all data types that are backed up: app templates, items, comments, tasks & files.
For each data type you can look up previous versions.
You can create copies of previous versions (both active and deleted items).
You can restore entire Podio apps back to your account.
You can sync your data backups to your own Google Drive folder.
Backup & Restore for Podio
The Export page only allowed you to export items.
The export page only allowed you to look up the last backed up version.
The Restore page only allowed you to restore the last version of records that were deleted.
To restore apps, you had to create a support ticket.
Your data backups were synced to a Google Drive folder in our Google Workspace account.
And it gets even better: Later this year new features will be launched for Pro Backup. These will introduce better security features such as 2FA & SSO, and better user management (e.g. inviting other team members to your backup). More news on this will follow very soon!
What will change for you?
- Once your account has been migrated, you will need to go to probackup.io in order to log in to your account. You will receive an email from us when this has been done.
- Your subscription and its price will stay the same, however we will convert the price plans into USD (with the exchange rate of the day of migration)
- You have to option to sync your data backups to your Google Drive. For this you will need to connect to your Google Workspace account first.
What happens with Power Tools and Dynamic Forms?
- Both add-ons will stay in the Momentum Tools suite.
- Power Tools has recently received a performance update and the same will happen for Dynamic Forms.
