Backup Google Workspace: Drive, Gmail, Contacts and More
Backing up GSuite (now Google Workspace) is a critical strategy for businesses to ensure the security and accessibility of their data. Google Workspace is the backbone of many business operations. Despite Google’s robust infrastructure, data within GSuite is still vulnerable to user errors, malicious deletions, ransomware, and other cyber threats. A dedicated backup solution for GSuite not only provides a safety net against these risks but also ensures business continuity by allowing for the quick restoration of lost data.

Gmail Backup
Despite Gmail’s robust security as a SaaS application, it remains vulnerable to threats like ransomware, man-in-the-middle attacks, and human error. Using SpinBackup, you can quickly recover deleted emails from your Gmail data by performing daily backups. Secure copies of your data are stored in your preferred storage solution, such as Azure, GCP, AWS, or others, protected against ransomware and cybercrime.
In Google Workspace, Google Drive serves as a repository for important corporate information. Cyber threats or accidental deletions can compromise or lose this data. If Google Drive content is lost, there could be significant repercussions, including disruptions in operations and criminal penalties. SpinBackup provides small and medium-sized businesses, educational institutions, and large enterprises with a premier Google Drive backup solution, backed by a 99.9% Service Level Agreement (SLA).
You can use Shared Drive in your organization if you have Google Workspace Enterprise, Google Workspace Business, or Google Workspace for Education editions. Using Team Drives in Google Workspace allows enterprise teams to collaborate securely and efficiently in the cloud. Adding Google Shared Drives Backup through SpinBackup to your data protection plan can strengthen your strategy for preventing data loss.
Google Contacts is essential to various organizational departments, including Sales, Procurement, Public Relations, Customer Success, and Marketing. Even though Google Contacts is a SaaS application, it is susceptible to threats such as ransomware, user errors, corruption, or intentional deletions. SpinBackup solves these vulnerabilities by providing daily backups of your Google Contacts data, which can be restored quickly if any information is lost. Data backups are securely stored in Azure, GCP, AWS, or other storage solutions.
While Google Calendar’s security is robust as a SaaS platform, it remains vulnerable to ransomware, accidental deletions, data corruption, and intentional removals. By backing up your Google Calendar data daily, SpinBackup mitigates these risks, ensuring you can quickly retrieve any lost information. Your data is securely stored in the cloud storage option of your preference, including Azure, GCP, AWS, or others. By capturing a daily snapshot of Google Calendar accounts, SpinBackup offers a straightforward solution for data restoration.

Google Workspace Backup Frequently Asked Questions
Have more questions about SpinOne and Google Workspace backup? Learn more from our FAQ section or contact our support.
Why should I backup my SaaS data?
Google Workspace applies a shared responsibility model for data protection. It prevents data loss due to technical malfunction or attacks. However, Google places responsibility for human error exclusively on its users.
Does Google have a backup system?
Yes, Google does have built-in redundancy and data protection measures, but it’s important to understand the limitations. Google Workspace offers features like archiving and the ability to recover deleted items within a certain time frame. However, this doesn’t equate to a comprehensive backup system.
While Google ensures the availability of your data, it doesn’t fully protect against scenarios like accidental deletions, insider threats, or ransomware attacks. Once an item is permanently deleted or lost due to user error, it’s often irretrievable after the retention period lapses.
That’s where third-party solutions like Spinbackup come in. We provide automated, secure backups that ensure your data is safe, no matter what happens. With Spinbackup, you can restore lost data with just a few clicks, giving you peace of mind that your critical information is always protected
Can I backup Google Workspace?
Absolutely, you can and should back up your Google Workspace data. While Google Workspace is a reliable and secure platform, it’s not immune to data loss due to accidental deletions, malicious activities, or ransomware attacks.
Google offers limited recovery options, but they’re often not enough to fully safeguard your data. That’s why using a third-party backup solution like Spinbackup is essential. Spinbackup provides automated, daily backups of your Google Workspace emails, files, contacts, and more. With our solution, you can easily restore any lost data, ensuring that your business operations remain uninterrupted and your data is fully protected.
What replaced Google backup and sync?
Google Backup and Sync was replaced by Google Drive for Desktop. This new tool combines the features of Backup and Sync with those of Drive File Stream, offering a more unified and efficient experience for managing your files.
Google Drive for Desktop allows you to sync files between your computer and the cloud, giving you access to your files from any device. However, while it’s a great tool for syncing, it doesn’t provide a comprehensive backup solution. Files that are deleted or corrupted locally can also be affected in the cloud, leading to potential data loss.
For a more robust solution, consider using a third-party backup service like Spinbackup. We provide automated backups for your entire Google Workspace, ensuring that your data is protected from accidental deletions, ransomware, and other threats. With Spinbackup, you can easily restore lost data, giving you complete control over your digital assets.
