ProBackup and KeepMyBase both back up Airtable every day. The main difference is where the backup lives. ProBackup keeps it in its own storage on AWS, where you browse it and restore records into Airtable from their app. KeepMyBase writes it to your own Google Drive or S3-compatible bucket as files you can open without any tool. Details below are from ProBackup's public pages, checked October 17, 2026.

When ProBackup is the better choice
- You want to restore from inside an app. ProBackup restores individual records, fields, tables, files and comments into Airtable. With KeepMyBase you import the archive yourself.
- You need long history. ProBackup keeps 6 months on Plus, 2 years on Pro and unlimited history on Premium. KeepMyBase keeps up to 180 days.
- Comments matter. ProBackup backs up record comments; KeepMyBase doesn't.
- You back up other tools too. One ProBackup account covers about 20 apps.
When KeepMyBase is the better choice
- The backup has to be in your own storage. KeepMyBase doesn't keep a copy of your data: records and files pass through on their way to your Drive or bucket. If you cancel or lose access to KeepMyBase, the files stay where they are.
- You want an S3 bucket. Amazon S3, Cloudflare R2, Wasabi, Backblaze B2, DigitalOcean Spaces or MinIO, with your own lifecycle rules, versioning or object lock. See backing up Airtable to S3.
- You want files anyone can read. CSV and JSON, attachment files as they were uploaded, and a manifest with a checksum for every file, so you can verify a copy without KeepMyBase.
- You need your Drive copy on the entry plan. ProBackup's Google Drive sync starts on Pro.
Using both
Some teams keep ProBackup for quick record-level restores and add an independent copy in their own storage. If you do, check your Airtable workspace's monthly API allowance: Free workspaces get 1,000 calls and Team 100,000, and both tools use them.
Moving from ProBackup to KeepMyBase
- Before cancelling, export anything you want to keep from ProBackup's history; it's stored with ProBackup, not with you.
- Create a KeepMyBase account, connect Airtable and your Drive or bucket, and create a backup for each base.
- Wait for the first copy of each base to complete and open one to check it.
- Turn on the daily schedule, then cancel ProBackup.
