However, Spanning backup and restore speeds were 2x+ slower than Backupify and worse than most other solutions. It showed good backup a success rate and its feature set is mature and comparable with Backupify. See the Backupify section below for a more detailed description of the issue. The service in some cases skips Drive files during backup runs, and yet it reports such incomplete backups as successful as long as at least one file in the backup run is backed up. It features a detailed audit log, admin roles, a reporting module and 3x per day automated GSuite back up.Д«ackupify's main drawback, in addition to the low success rate, is the 'silent' Google Drive and Shared Drive backup errors. However its backup success rate and overall reliability was noticeably lower than most other solutions.

The description of Afi service is kept to the minimum in this article and if you'd like to learn more, check this Google Cloud documentation about Afi Google Workspace backup.Д«ackupify achieved #1 rank thanks to the mature feature set and fast performance. See the vendor details & company profiles at the end of this post for additional information.ДЄfi itself develops a cloud G Suite (Google Workspace) backup, and this summary is based on our internal competitive study and benchmarking performed in partnership with our managed service provider partners who used multiple backups in the course of their business. This information is based on public sources as well as interviews with Afi partners & customers. In addition to the performance metrics, the tools were evaluated based on the vendor background, company size and history.

Each solution was assigned a (somewhat subjective) grade reflecting the adequacy of backup, restore, management and reporting features. Measured as the average restore speed for one GВ Suite user backup with 4 GB of data in Gmail and 15 GB in Google Drive.

During the first backup all protected data has to be pulled from Google Workspace accounts, which takes more time to execute compared to subsequent 'incremental' backups which only need to sync data changes (increments) since the last backup. The average speed of the initial (first) backup. It is calculated as the number of successful backup runs divided by the total backup runs. It takes into account all Google Drive and GВ Suite Gmail backup runs during the 2 test weeks. In order to compare the solutions we summaried these four key measures for each solution: The following recovery benchmarks were then calculated for each solution: number of total backup jobs, how many of them failed and how many succeeded.ДЇinally, Google Drive and Google Workspace (G Suite) user email backups were restored (to the same test domain) to measure the speed and accuracy of recovery.

The backup tools performed automated (scheduled) backups of the entire test domain for 2 weeks. The test domain had 2 TB in total storage across all users and included a representative set of files and emails: large 10GB+ media files, large number of small text files (source code) as well as native Google Workspace (G Suite) files such as documents, spreadsheets and presentations. Each G Suite (Google Workspace) backup tool included in the review was installed on a test domain with 80 users and 20 Shared (Team) Drives by one of Afi managed service provider partners.
