Backup & Restore

Hi Ariel Yurman, some companies might back up due to various concerns. Do you have any current issues you're facing? 

Hi Ariel,

I also found it odd that Wrike has that option but doesn't have any means to use it. I had asked that question when we were in talks of merging our instance with another teams Wrike account. Question was: will you backup our instances prior to the merge just in case if "things hit the fan" then we can restore our instances separately? I had multiple support technicians tell me no and if things got messy/unorganized then it was up to us, the customer, to fix it. When I asked why there was the backup button in Settings they could not give me a straight answer. 

What's the point of backing up our instance when we cannot use it?

Do you have any current issues you're facing?  Yes - cannot restore a backup 

I find it very perplexing why Wrike would provide a backup function without a supporting restore tool.    Wrike have mentioned their resilience built around the product such as database replication etc. - however database backup is not always about resilience and data recovery - most of the time it refers to having the flexibility to recover and roll back to a point of time.  

Wrike...sort it out please
