Think outside the board — secure your Miro data with Keepit 

Inside KeepitDecember 3, 2025 | 2 minutesBy Holly Samimi

Just like other collaboration tools, Miro has become critical for many companies when it comes to creating user journeys, roadmaps and strategic projects. Losing invaluable brainstorming or product development data can lead to costly disruptions in product planning, engineering workflows, and stakeholder alignment.

Keepit is now backing up Miro to ensure your project management processes are safe from disruptions — and that companies will never lose their valuable work product.

Risks of not backing up your collaboration data 

Your teams work hard on projects — from their conception to the finish line. Collaboration inside teams has moved to online tools where everyone can contribute across the globe. In 2025, Miro had around 90 million users globally and stores 130,000 companies' collaboration data. As all this important work product has moved to the cloud, it's important to remember to ensure it’s all safely stored in case of human error, disruption, or cyberattack.

Ensuring business continuity means including backup and recovery planning into the mix.  

Why you shouldn’t rely on Miro’s native backup capabilities 

Many still don’t know that SaaS applications work under a shared responsibility model. This means Miro is responsible for its infrastructure and availability, but customers are responsible for their data. All companies using Miro assume the responsibility of ensuring that regular backups are in place and that they’re controlling user access and permissions with sufficient authentication methods.

With their native backup capabilities, Miro allows backup and restoration of boards manually downloaded from the application — with significant restrictions. Larger backups cannot be directly restored through the user interface and it requires manual exporting. Miro also only backs up boards — account settings, team data, project configurations, or user metadata are not included in their backups.

Only independent backup and recovery capabilities will ensure your team always has the ability to recover and restore in situations of data loss.
