We're excited to announce that with Pro Backup, you can now get daily, automated backups for your Tape organization.
Tape puts security at the top of our priority list, and we are committed to keeping our customers’ data secure using the most stringent security measures available. Learn more →
However, due to guidelines, users require an external backup solution, especially to separate the backup from the main provider, Tape.
We knew that choosing the right technology partner was crucial – one with a reputation for excellence and a wealth of experience. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Pro Backup. A shout-out to @Will_from_Pro_Backup and his great team for building this integration.
Pro Backup is effortless to use and packed with insights, like record or app counts.
Building any integrations takes serious effort at first, all done with the prospect that they’ll become useful. We’re confident these integrations bring benefits, whether for your organization or your clients if you’re a consultant. Please spread the news and welcome Pro Backup into the Tape community by trying it out yourself.
If you have additional reasons to recommend Pro Backup, we’d love to hear them:
I suspect that you are aware that ProBackup doesn’t restore files and automations. In my case, even comments are not backedup.
Without literally having to clone all workspaces everyday, is there another where to relieve my anxiety levels. I have had experiences in the past (Podio) where weeks worth of data had to be manually reprocessed, so definitely want to avoid that again.
@Leo Will all this be resolved when Tape Api limitations have been removed/improved? If so, when?
Thanks a lot for your message, and I completely understand where you’re coming from!
Yes, we’re definitely aware of these limitations. The main reason is that ProBackup, similar to us, follows a very opportunity-driven roadmap and prioritizes features based on customer demand and potential impact.
Technically, ProBackup could support restoring files and comments, as we already provide the necessary API endpoints. That’s also why exporting both files and comments in Tape is already possible via the current export function of a database app.
The one limitation that’s currently on our side is with automations: we don’t yet provide an API for them. That’s why ProBackup can’t offer backup or restore functionality for automations at the moment either. This is a known limitation, and we absolutely plan to revisit it after we’ve completed our current focus on the new record, forms and mobile.
However, just like ProBackup, we operate with a fully opportunity-driven roadmap. Right now, the vast majority of migration blockers from Podio are related to the new record, forms and mobile, so we’re putting all of our energy there.
But if we see that larger customers are blocked from migrating because of these backup features, we would definitely prioritize the topic. At the moment, though, demand for other features is significantly higher.
Thanks again for flagging this. I really appreciate your thoughtful input and your patience!
