Backup, protect, recover, and restore Google Drive™ with embedded Ransomware Detection and Response capabilities.
Google Drive™ stores your company’s most important files, but it doesn’t automatically create full backups of that data. Tools like the Google Drive App (Google Drive for desktop), Google Takeout, and Google One give you some ways to copy or sync your files, but they are not designed to be complete backup and recovery solutions for business.A true backup for Google Drive keeps separate copies of your files (including Shared Drives and Google Docs™) in an independent backup vault. It lets you restore older versions, recover files after they’re deleted from Trash, and protect against ransomware or accidental deletion.SpinBackup by Spin.AI adds that missing backup layer for Google Drive™ with automated snapshots, fast recovery, and built-in ransomware detection and response.
Daily Snapshots 1x – 3x/day
SpinBackup creates daily snapshots of your Google Drive™ files either once or 3 times daily, saving unlimited versions of each document.
Access to Data from Deleted Accounts
As a key feature, Google admins can easily find the necessary auto backup data entries and recover them to a Google account of their choice. This is also helpful when an employee leaves the organization, and their data should be transferred to another account.
Ransomware Monitoring 24/7
For SpinBackup Enterprise, we’ll also scan your environment continuously for signs of ransomware, using powerful AI detection and automated response to find and stop ransomware in its tracks.
By embedding RDR into our backup solution, we ensure you’ll never lose your whole SaaS environment to ransomware. We’ll even give you a 2-hour incident response SLA for ransomware recovery. You’ll stay up and running and won’t miss a beat.

How does Google Drive backup work?
Google Drive backup can be done with Google’s own tools or a third-party service. Google Drive App (Drive for desktop), Google Takeout, and Google One each provide a partial way to copy or sync your files, but they don’t offer full, automated backups with long-term retention and fast recovery. For that, most businesses use a dedicated backup service like SpinBackup that takes automatic snapshots of your data and stores them in a separate backup vault.
Is there a backup for Google Drive?
Yes and no. Google protects Google Drive at the infrastructure level by keeping multiple copies of your data on Google’s servers. But this doesn’t protect you from user-level problems like accidental deletion, malicious insiders, or ransomware. Once a file is permanently deleted from Trash or falls outside version history limits, Google cannot restore it for you. A third-party Google Drive backup like SpinBackup creates separate backups you control, so you can recover specific files or versions whenever you need them.
Options for Google Drive backup?
The main options are:
Does SpinBackup for Google Drive™ backup individual files and file revisions?
Yes, SpinBackup for Google Drive™ is designed to backup individual files as well as file revisions. This means that not only are your current files safely stored, but any changes made to those files are also securely backed up. This feature allows you to access and restore previous versions of your files as needed, providing comprehensive protection and flexibility for your data.
Why does Google Calendar™ need a third-party backup?
Third-party backups for Google Calendar™ ensure your data is secure and recoverable in case of accidental loss, malicious activities, or syncing issues. A separate backup ensures you have a copy of your data that’s not affected by issues within the Google Workspace™ environment.
Can SpinBackup for Google Calendar™ handle recurring events and appointments?
Yes, all your recurring events and appointments are safe with SpinBackup.
Can SpinBackup for Google Calendar™ retain event details, attendee information, and other metadata associated with Calendar events?
Yes, all these data are covered by SpinBackup.
How does SpinBackup handle deleted Calendar events and ensure they are recoverable from backups?
You can configure SpinBackup to retain your backups, including deleted Calendar events, from 6 months to indefinitely. This means that SpinBackup ensures your deleted emails are recoverable as long as you’ve configured them and your subscription lasts.
Keep in mind that SpinBackup can only recover data that it has previously backed up.
Google offers offline versioning of my events. Why do I need a third-party Google Calendar™ backup tool?
Although Google Calendar™ has built-in data security mechanisms, it falls short when it comes to advanced data backup and recovery features. SpinBackup for Google Calendar™ secures your data in case of accidental loss from deleting events or syncing issues. It also provides more precise recovery options and long-term archiving for meeting compliance.
Google offers backup and sync tools such as Sync Client or Google Vault to automatically back up Google Drive™ files. What specific features does SpinBackup offer for backing up Google Drive™ data?
SpinBackup offers businesses more advanced backup functionalities compared to Google’s built-in options like Sync Client or Google Vault. With SpinBackup, you can quickly recover specific files or even specific versions of files from a chosen point in time. It allows you to recover files removed from the trash and restore access to your shared files in seconds. Finally, SpinBackup helps businesses meet their compliance needs by allowing a flexible retention period compared to Google’s base offerings.
Most of my sensitive data is stored on Google Drive™. How can SpinBackup ensure data security and confidentiality?
