6. The first time I experienced a data disaster
was during a presentation in front of
hundreds of people... and my boss.
Lesson learned: data loss can happen to anyone,
without a warning.
7. Data loss is a problem for Shopify store owners, and Shopify’s disaster
recovery backup cannot help you.
8. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a magic undo button for any
mistake in your Shopify store?
9. Backing up Shopify
manually

think about it.
10. Most common data disasters in Shopify stores
Simple human error - we all
make mistakes
Giving access to employees /
freelancers to work on your store

yourself
3rd party app integrations
misbehaving
11. Be aware of permissions granted to 3rd party apps
Permissions to 'Manage' or 'Modify' data
provide the app with the most access.
These apps are not necessarily bad
apples. But you need to be aware of
what these permissions mean.
Always ask yourself if the app
permissions makes sense for the
functionality of the app.
12. “It’s heartbreaking when you put your time, effort, and money -
literally everything - into your business, and then a mistake
happens. All it takes is one mistake to undo all of your
progress.
I believe in insurances in life, and Rewind is insurance for the
countless hours that I’ve put into my website.”
Michelle Goyette, Founder of Unique World Inspirations
