Keepit vs Rewind for Confluence Cloud Backup (2026)
Comparing two approaches to protecting your Confluence knowledge base: independent immutable cloud versus Marketplace-native backup.
Confluence backup on vendor-independent immutable infrastructure.
Marketplace-native Confluence backup with version history.
Both platforms back up Confluence Cloud with item-level recovery. Keepit stores your backup on independent infrastructure it owns and operates, with blockchain-verified immutability. Rewind runs on AWS and is backed by Atlassian Ventures. If your priority is infrastructure separation from Atlassian and the hyperscalers, Keepit is the safer choice. If you need Confluence-specific depth like inline comment history, template backup, and theme preservation, Rewind covers more Confluence objects today.
Keepit for Confluence
Keepit backs up Confluence Cloud spaces, pages, blog posts, attachments, and labels to its own independent cloud. Blockchain-verified immutability protects backup data from tampering or deletion. Federated search across all backed-up workloads. Sydney data centre for Australian residency.
Rewind Backups for Confluence
Rewind covers Confluence spaces, pages, blog posts, comments (footer and inline), attachments, templates, themes, and version history. Installed via the Atlassian Marketplace. SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified. Runs on AWS infrastructure.

Confluence is a knowledge base, not just a wiki
Teams treat Confluence as the source of truth for processes, architecture decisions, onboarding playbooks, and compliance documentation. Losing a Confluence space is not like losing a file. You lose the institutional memory that new hires read, that auditors review, and that your engineering team references every day.
Atlassian's native backup (GA April 2026) restores at the site level only, with 30-day retention and a 32 GB cap for Confluence. If your Confluence instance exceeds 32 GB, you cannot use Atlassian's own backup product. Both Keepit and Rewind solve this with granular, long-retention backup that scales with your data.
The infrastructure question
The same infrastructure independence argument from the Jira comparison applies here. Keepit operates its own cloud, separate from Atlassian and every hyperscaler. If a supply-chain incident hits Atlassian or AWS, your Confluence backup on Keepit is unaffected.
Rewind stores data on AWS with Atlassian Ventures as an investor. The backup works well, but the risk correlation between your production Confluence and your backup is higher than it would be with a fully independent provider.
Coverage depth
Rewind captures more Confluence-specific objects: inline comments, footer comments, templates, themes, and full version history of pages. If your Confluence instance uses heavily customised templates or if comment threads contain decision records, Rewind preserves more of that context.
Keepit covers spaces, pages, blog posts, attachments, and labels. For most recovery scenarios (accidental deletion, bulk modification, ransomware), these are the objects you need back. Keepit's edge is that everything it captures is immutable from the moment of ingest.
CRS and Keepit for Confluence
Cloud Ready Solutions distributes Keepit across ANZ with local pricing and Sydney data residency. If you are already using Keepit for Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, adding Confluence is a single connector in the same console.
