What happens to a user’s SpinOne backups when their Google Workspace license is removed?
Your backups are kept. Once a user’s Google Workspace license is removed, they will appear as a deleted user in SpinOne. SpinOne then stops running new backups for them, and all of their existing backups stay available to restore or download based on your Retention Policy.
To keep the data long-term at a lower cost, select the user in SpinOne and click Archive users. They’ll move to the Archived Users section, where you can still restore or download their data. Archive licenses are available in the Billing section under Add-ons.
Note: Archive the user. Don’t Deactivate them if you need to keep their data, because deactivated users’ backups are permanently deleted after 7 days.
