Why backup Google Workspace?
Necessary protection of your organisation’s data lies with you, not Google.
Google’s default data protection does not protect your organisation against human error, malicious actions, ransomware and hackers, and it does not provide data backups beyond 30 days. Google Vault isn’t designed to be a Google Workspace backup or archive tool either, as stated in the Google Vault FAQs. Google recommends the use of a third-party backup and recovery solution.
“Backup combines everything that CloudM does brilliantly – migration and automation – into a product that will help a lot of organizations easily combat the consequences of data loss.”

Industry leading data sync and frequent backups
We utilize a unique data sync that only takes a backup of files and emails that are new or updated. New backups will start 20 minutes for Gmail and 1 hour for Drive after the last backup migration has completed. We back up Google Calendar three times per day, keeping your backup more up-to-date than other providers.
Automatically assigned policies
Backup and retention policies are automatically assigned as a user is enrolled in dynamic groups, allowing you to add bespoke and flexible policies for different teams. This guarantees that the right data is backed up for each individual user and deleted when applicable, keeping you 100% compliant and your storage costs down.

Why should I backup Google Workspace?
To prevent data loss in the case of malware, cyber attacks and accidental data deletions.
