Why do we need to backup Google Workspace emails?
Google Workspace provides a retention period to recover data from deleted files. However, their inbuilt tools cannot restore Google Workspace accidentally or permanently deleted data. Google Workspace backup files are essential to prevent user's data from:
Accidental deletion or overwriting
When multiple users work on a project simultaneously, the chances of overwriting and accidental deletion increase. Sometimes, the original file gets deleted mistakenly, or someone overwrites the crucial data. In such a scenario, backup Google Workspace emails and prevent data from accidental deletion or overwriting.
Cyber, malware, or ransomware attacks
Many business organizations often lose their important Google Workspace mailbox data due to cyber-attacks, malware, or ransomware attacks. To safeguard organizations' data from ransomware attacks and encrypting the data, needs lots of money. Instead of consuming money, take a backup at a safe location.
Unauthorized access or internal threats
If an unauthorized user accesses the Google Workspace admin account or any employee leaks internal information, this will compromise data confidentiality. Additionally, the organization may lose control of the Google Workspace account. Thus, a backup is needed to recover data from Google Workspace.
SaaS outages and technical issues
Technical issues or SaaS outages hamper the workflow due to a lack of accessibility. Moreover, an outage can cause some severe issues, such as a chance of data loss when regaining the connection. At this time, only the G Suite backup and restore tool can protect the important Google Mail data.
Creating backup or data loss during migration
When performing the data migration for a merger or acquisition of a business organization, the risk of data loss increases by 2X because of source and destination permissions. Creating a backup of old data is necessary for every organization to avoid data loss and fulfill legal compliances.
Employee leaving the organization
When an employee leaves the organization, the respective user account needs to migrate their data into a safer place and perform deletion. However, before migration and deletion of the account, all the crucial data from Google Workspace must be backed up to the local or network drive of the system.
