What is the diference between our DropBox backup, and your own daily backups? those are the same, kind of?
I have the same question as Alexandre. If I choose to turn on Dropbox backup on my Workflowy+ account, does that mean you would no longer have a copy of my notes on your servers or would my notes continue to exist in both places?
To clarify, Workflowy does entire daily backups of the entire database of all accounts for disaster recover purposes. But Workflowy restores data for users in a different way. Items are that are deleted are truly not deleted from the database...they are just marked deleted but can be changed by the team to display again. DropBox backups are snapshots of a user's entire account. So there is a difference.
Turning on DropBox backups does not change the way Workflowy stores your data or their own backup process.
