Frequently Asked Questions

What is Backup & Recovery for Google Workspace?

Backup & Recovery for Google Workspace is a SaaSRecover capability that helps organizations protect and recover Gmail, Google Drive, Shared Drives, Calendar, and Contacts with granular recovery and isolated backup copies stored outside the source environment.

Why do I need backup for Google Workspace?

Google Workspace follows a shared responsibility model. Google is responsible for service availability, while your organization is responsible for protecting and recovering its data after accidental deletion, sync errors, malicious activity, or ransomware-related corruption.

What recovery options does SaaSRecover offer?

You can search and recover at a granular level, including specific emails, files, accounts, and point-in-time versions. Recovery options include in-place and out-of-place restore, helping teams restore what they need without a full-environment rollback.

Where does SaaSRecover store Google Workspace backups?

Recovery copies are stored in Commvault-managed, isolated, air-gapped storage that is separate from both the Google Workspace source environment and your own cloud tenant. That separation helps reduce the chance that a compromise reaches the backup copy.

Does this help with compliance and eDiscovery?

Yes. The capability supports extended retention for deleted and active data, and customers using the compliance-related SKU can search and export relevant content to support audits, investigations, litigation, and regulatory response workflows.
