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 backups beyond 30 days. Google Vault isn’t designed to be a backup or archive tool either, as stated in the Google Vault FAQs. Google recommends the use of a third-party backup and recovery
“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.”

Take control of your data by hosting backups in your own infrastructure
Reduce costs and avoid vendor lock-in by backing up your data in your organization’s AWS or GCP storage buckets.
Reduce manual work to a minimum by automating the assignment of data backup and retention policies
Let your team focus on more important tasks while reducing the risk of mistakes by automating data retention and backup policies.
Granular version control and restoration
Restore any version of your files in bulk or choose single or multiple files or folders. That way restoring your data at a user, team or organizational level is both easy and precise when you need to act fast.
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, 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.

Frequently asked questions
Why should I backup Google Workspace?
To prevent data loss in the case of malware, cyber attacks and accidental data deletions. While Google protects data from downtime, hardware failures or disasters that may affect the physical infrastructure, it does not take full or incremental snapshots aka backups at regular intervals or enables mass restoration. You can read more about this here.
Can I use Google Vault to backup my data?
No. Google Vault is not a backup tool. It only stores the latest versions of your data and is not designed for recovery. Find out more here.
