Google Calendar is an essential tool for any company using the Google Workspace productivity suite. Keeping its data safe from cyberattacks, human error and malicious users is imperative to ensure business continuity. Following its latest release, CloudM Backup helps you do just that.
CloudM Backup 1.8: Improve business continuity by backing up your Google Calendar data
Google Calendar has quickly become an integral part of Google Workspace, including business, personal, public and holiday calendars. Enabling users to schedule events, add reminders, share calendars and access them from anywhere, the data it contains is vital for the running of your business. Not being able to access it temporarily is a nuisance. Losing the data forever can be catastrophic.
Comprehensive protection for your most important GWS applications
CloudM Backup already protects your users’ Google Mail, Drive and Shared Drives data from data loss due to cyberattacks, malicious users, accidental deletion and more. The most recent release ensures that your Calendar data is now also safe from the consequences of data loss and can be recovered quickly to ensure business can continue.
