The Rewind Vault allows you to view historical versions of the items in your backups and compare them to their current state. This guide walks you through how to locate an item (like a product, customer, file, or configuration), view its change history, and compare backup versions using the Vault interface.
Note: The steps in this guide apply to all supported Rewind integrations. Depending on your platform, item categories may appear differently or contain different fields.
Steps to compare backup versions using the Rewind Vault
- Log in to your Rewind account at https://app.rewind.com.
- In the left-hand menu, select Integrations.
- Expand the integration you'd like to work with and select a backup file to open the Rewind Vault.
- Ensure you are viewing the All Items tab.
- Click the Filters button on the right.
- Check the box beside the item types you want to view, then click Apply.
- Optional: You can uncheck Deleted Content if you only want to view active items.
- Locate and click on the item you'd like to investigate.
- Use the Version dropdown on the right to select a previous backup version.
- Click the Source Code toggle above the preview to compare the historical backup version to the current version on the left.
Additional Information
- Version history is only generated when a change to the item is detected during a backup. If the item hasn’t changed, it will be skipped in that day’s backup, so you may notice gaps in the version list.
- Some fields may not appear in the Vault interface or Source Code view. This usually means that the data is either not included in backups for that item type, or it isn’t currently viewable within the Vault.
