Facts about ProBackup were observed on ProBackup (Pro Backup BV, Belgium)’s own pages on 2026-10-06. Where something could not be verified, the row says so.
| ProBackup | AirtableBackup | |
|---|---|---|
| Price basis | Storage used plus a retention tier: Plus $25/mo billed yearly or $31 monthly (10 GB entry step, 6 months of history); Pro $38/$47 (2 years); Premium $69/$86 (unlimited). Storage steps up to 2,500 GB; the per-step prices render client-side and could not be read. | $19 per base per month, flat. Attachments, backup frequency, history and restores are not metered. |
| Backup frequency | Once every 24 hours, no scheduling. | Every change as it happens (live updates), plus a full backup every night, at every speed setting |
| Attachments | Counted against the storage quota; the vendor says files are typically 90–95% of it. Exclusion controls (drop files over 10 MB, drop files older than three months) were added in September 2026. | Every file stored once by its content, however many records or versions reference it. Not metered. |
| Change history | Daily versions with a compare between two versions. | Every change, with the name of the person, automation, form or integration that made it, and the before and after values. |
| Restore depth | Tables, records, comments, files and fields. A table restore creates a duplicate in the existing base; computed fields (formula, lookup, rollup, count, auto number, created/modified time, button, AI) are skipped. When a base is gone, the advice is to create a new base named ProBackupRestore and restore into it. | One change, one field, one record, a table at any moment, or a whole base into a new base; every restore undoable. A rebuild into a new base recreates formula, lookup, rollup and count fields and re-links records. |
| Automations and scripts | The help article for Airtable now lists "Automations"; the vendor's own comparison page says neither it nor On2Air backs up automations, views or forms.Unverified: the article was updated the week of 6 October 2026; what is captured (triggers, scripts, whether it can be restored) is not documented. | Yes: configuration, script source, forms and interface page metadata, saved nightly, versioned on change |
| Restore proven automatically | Not documented. | An opt-in nightly restore test: 25 records of one table are restored into a test base and read back, every night. |
| Storage | ProBackup's AWS, a choice of 9 regions, AES-256, SOC 2 Type II. | The operator's AWS account in us-west-1: versioned S3, server-side encryption, a bucket policy that denies deletion to everything but an MFA break-glass role. No SOC 2. |
| Trial | 7 days, no card (14 days in 2024 marketing). Fees are non-refundable. | 14 days, every feature on, no card. |
| Restores per month | Unmetered. | Unmetered. |
