I was disappointed to find out that Shopify doesn't have a built-in backup capability. You can't even easily just FTP the files to your desktop for safe keeping! I looked around for backup apps. I went for TinyBackup because it was built for Shopify and has a free trial. TinyBackup is easy to use. I'm impressed with the fine-grained ability to restore single files. Even better, they have a diff tool so you can see the difference between the backup and your live file. This is almost like a source control system! It doesn't have versioning. It keeps the last version. But hey, that's more than I expected. I thought it would just be a whole-site backup that you had to restore, all-or-nothing style. I also like the simplicity of this app. You don't need to read any documentation. You hit the ground running. It just works and it's easy to use. It's set up to do what you need -- backup files every day. Given that the html authoring tool in Shopify is a bit dodgy, it's easy to ruin a webpage you've been working on for hours with one keystroke. I've done it! This app at least helps you get back to the starting point without losing your original copy. This is, by far, one of the best Shopify apps I've used! Well done!

This app is an absolute lifesaver! I encountered an issue that caused multiple products to be altered or deleted, but the support team was exceptional—they quickly restored everything to a previous version before the problem occurred. I can't thank them enough; every store truly needs this app. You might not realize its value until you need it, but when you do, it’s invaluable. I don’t know how I would have recovered from this mistake without it. 5 stars all the way—definitely not worth the risk of going without it!
