We don't want all of our eggs in one basket. Only having our data in G Suite, means only G Suite has to make one mistake where we can't recover. If Gmail had a large outage, I would do the same with an eml or mbox file, and Mozilla Thunderbird.Īs the admin, I'm a steward of our data. When Google Calendar was down for a few hours yesterday, I went into Spanning and exported a few backups as an ICS file, and gave them to our executive assistant to load into Mozilla Thunderbird. Most of the time restore is fine, but we are paying for out-of-band backups for a reason. I was trying CubeBackup, but they don't have an Export feature, only a restore feature. What are we paying for, if we can't use the service? And by too much, I mean anything more than $0.00. We are paying too much to not be able to use the service. Support told me that a lot of other clients are requesting exports/restorations, so that is the reason it is slow. It is now 20 hours since I made the request.

I requested a Google Document export for 1 file that we deleted a week ago. Even better would be if you used either of these services, and can then compare the quality and price. I forgot to mention earlier, when Backupify moved their knowledgebase to Datto, it didn't go smoothly.Īcquisitions are leaving a sour taste in my mouth.ĭoes anyone have experience with G Suite backups that they can share? I'd like to hear from users here instead of just looking at a company's own marketing materials. It is the parent company that won't let Spanning provide phone support. Similar to Backupify, Spanning was purchased by another company and existing employees have made it clear that the new parent company is pulling these strings. Type one thing, or change one part of a date, and the search starts which just wastes your time. Trying to narrow down results actually gives more results.

Now, we do make our own manual backups here and there, but those get outdated and are also slow to restore from. With the amount we rely on G Suite, we know we needed an external backup solution.
