Backupify- Set it and forget it disaster recovery solution

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Backupify to back up our Google and our Microsoft domains accounts for our staff. We do not back up our student accounts. This allows us to grab data that has been deleted or lost from all areas include Drive, Calendar, Email, and Contacts. It has been a great solution for disaster recovery and for malice deletion.

Pros

  • Back up Google
  • Back Up Microsoft
  • Easy recovery of data

Cons

  • The back ups from Drive don’t restore in their original folder hierarchy
  • The interface could be a bit cleaner

Return on Investment

  • Very easy disaster recovery tool that requires no regular maintenance
