Doesn't Podio back up my data?
Podio keeps its own servers safe, but it offers no backup you can restore from yourself. A deleted item is gone for good.
A deleted item
-
Deleting removes the item from all views. Podio's own docs say it can no longer be retrieved.
- With ProBackup: Stays in your backup for your plan's history (6 months up to 4 years). You restore it yourself, as a new item with its comments, tasks and files.
A bulk delete or a runaway flow
-
A bulk delete removes items from all views, and the data can no longer be retrieved.
- With ProBackup: The weekly report lists deleted items and apps. Restore the items you need, or a whole app as a new app with all its items.
A field overwritten
-
Item revisions let you revert a change in Podio. Once the item is deleted, it can no longer be retrieved.
- With ProBackup: Each day's version is kept, also after the item is deleted. Restore the version you need as a new item.
A full copy
-
Excel export of one app's items at a time.
- With ProBackup: Automatic every 24 hours for every app, with comments, tasks and files. Browsable by day, Google Drive sync (Pro and Premium).
Use Podio's revisions for a change you just made. Use ProBackup for anything deleted, older or bigger.

Visit the help centerWhat Podio data is backed up?
The following data types are backed up: organizations, apps with their fields, items, comments, files, tasks with their comments, and Podio Workflow Automation flows (once you connect Workflow Automation).
How does restore work for Podio?
When you restore an item or app, ProBackup never overwrites or changes existing data in Podio. An item comes back as a new item in its app, with its comments, tasks (and their comments) and files. An app comes back as a new app in its workspace, with all its items. Calculation fields are skipped, and relations to other apps are partly restored. Files, comments and tasks can't be restored on their own.
Can I restore a deleted Podio app?
Yes, if it was in a ProBackup snapshot before it was deleted. It comes back as a new app in the same workspace, with its fields and all its items, and their comments, tasks and files. If the workspace was deleted too, recreate it with the same URL first. Calculation fields are skipped.
How safe is my data?
The backups and the access tokens are secured with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) using a 256-bit encryption key. Applying the best practices of encryption methods, we use a different initialisation vector for every record, meaning it is virtually impossible to extract the data via reverse engineering.
Do I need a license for each team member?
No, you only need one ProBackup license to back up your team's data. The pricing model is not based on the number of seats – instead you pay to back up your own account and the connected accounts.
Can I build this myself?
You can. With an AI coding tool, a script that exports your data every night is a weekend project. The hard part comes after that: keeping it working when the app's API changes, storing the copies encrypted and away from the app, noticing when a run quietly misses data, and restoring, which means rebuilding records with their comments, files and links in the right place without overwriting today's work. ProBackup does that for 20+ apps. It keeps a version of every record each day it changes, emails you when a backup stops running, checks the APIs of its largest integrations against known-good responses every week, is SOC 2 Type II audited, and lets you browse any day and restore it.
