Why Small Businesses Choose CrashPlan for Google Workspace

Simple for owners, powerful for IT teams

No servers or complex setup. CrashPlan runs automated, cloud-to-cloud backups in the background, so business owners stay worry-free while IT staff get the visibility and controls they need.

Affordable storage

Your subscription comes with 50 GB of cloud storage per user which is pooled so you're not wasting storage space on users with less data. Patented deduplication and compression algorithms ensure your data takes up as little space as possible, and with flexible backup policies you can easily avoid storage bloat.

Quick, self-service restores

Employees can search for and restore their own lost files or emails, taking pressure off your IT team and keeping productivity on track.

Ready for worst-case scenarios

Fast, reliable recovery across Gmail and Google Drive ensures users can restore individual files and emails, or entire folders or mailboxes quickly in the event of a large-scale attack or outage.

Why Backup Google Workspace Data?

Google offers limited retention, not full backup. According to Google's own Shared Responsibility Model, they recommend that each customer have a third-party backup and recovery solution in place to help ensure your data is safe. That’s where CrashPlan comes in: with reliable, secure, and easy-to-manage backup designed for small businesses of all types.

Built-In Compliance

CrashPlan makes it easy to meet data handling requirements dictated by regulations like HIPAA, GDPR, FERPA, and more. Learn more about CrashPlan's commitment to security, privacy, and compliance.

Precise Data Restoration

End users can quickly restore the exact file, email, or document they need without help from IT.

Safeguard Your Data

Cloud-based collaboration tools, such as Google Drive, are great for collaboration and productivity, but are no substitute for a dedicated backup solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a Google Workspace data protection strategy important?

Google does not offer comprehensive backup and user-friendly restore capabilities. Nor does it provide customizable retention options. Google data that is not protected by a third-party backup solution is vulnerable to malicious deletion, ransomware, and user error.

What are the benefits of choosing CrashPlan for Small Business Google Workspace Backup?

CrashPlan gives small to medium businesses simple, affordable, cloud-to-cloud backup with quick self-service restores, and enterprise grade security.

Where are CrashPlan backups stored?

CrashPlan backups are stored in secure, encrypted archives located in CrashPlan cloud data centers. You can view your backup destination in the CrashPlan app.

How long is the backup data retained?

CrashPlan offers customizable retention policies, allowing organizations to define how long backup data is retained based on your specific needs and compliance requirements. You can set policies to retain data for specific durations or indefinitely, enabling you to meet your company's regulatory compliance needs and internal data governance policies.

What is a data backup policy?

A data backup policy is a set of rules and guidelines that defines how an organization protects its data by creating and managing backups. It should answer questions like: What data do we back up, how often, what security and compliance protections must be provided, and how do we recover if something goes wrong?
