Your Google Workspace Data Deserves Its Own Backup
Google keeps your services running — it doesn't fully back up your data. Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud provides dedicated backup for Gmail, Drive, Calendar, and Shared Drives, closing a gap most organizations don't realize exists until it's too late.
"It's in the Cloud" Isn't the Same as "It's Backed Up"
Google's shared responsibility model works the same way Microsoft's does: Google is responsible for the availability and infrastructure of Workspace, but data protection — recovering from accidental deletion, ransomware, insider threats, or retention policy gaps — is your responsibility. Google's native trash and version history features are designed for short-term, limited recovery scenarios, not comprehensive backup, with real limits on how far back and how completely they can recover.
We deploy Acronis's dedicated Google Workspace backup to close that gap — automated, complete backup of Gmail, Google Drive, Calendar, and Shared Drives, protected against ransomware as part of the broader Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud platform, not treated as a separate, disconnected tool.

Common Questions
Doesn't Google already back up our data as part of our subscription?
Google's native trash and version history are built for short-term recovery — like restoring a recently deleted file — not comprehensive, long-term backup. They don't reliably protect against ransomware, malicious deletion, or many real-world data loss scenarios.
How far back can we recover data?
Retention periods are configurable based on your needs and compliance requirements, extending well beyond Google's default retention windows.
Can we recover a single email or file, or only a full account?
Granular recovery is supported — you can restore individual items (an email, a file, a calendar event) without needing to restore an entire account.
