Spanning Backup for G Suite for Peace of Mind
Spanning Backup for G Suite is being used across the district to backup our business office and teachers Google Drives so that if something were to happen and someone accidentally deleted a Google Doc and now with the 30-day auto trash deletion we would still be able to recover those files using Spanning Backup for G Suite.
- Easy interface to navigate
- Quick restoration of files
- Easy administration/ adding new accounts.
- Better support/phone support
- The ability to checkmark JUST a single OU and then any new members in just THAT OU would be automatically backed up. Currently, you can just auto add new members but not per OU.
- Backup of critical data
- Ease of use by all technicians
- Peace of mind
- It's hard to measure this but the first time an item needed to be restored I thought to myself...this was worth it already. Some files in Google are a combination of years of work and losing those files would be painful.
- Part of our Disaster Recovery Plan
Spanning Backup for G Suite backs up Google Drive files and Unitrends is used for more VM infrastructure.

Set it and forget it!
Spanning Backup for Salesforce is being used primarily by myself. I have given access to my team, but have not trained nor gone over its features and capabilities with the majority of the team. After having to do manual backups and using multiple tools to make sure we have a back up of our data and metadata, we switched to Spanning as it streamlined all backing up of SaaS data and metadata. The set it and forget it concept resolved issues of dedicating a resource to do the manual work.
- Set it and forget it. Easy set up and it runs daily behind the scenes.
- Restore holds record relationships.
- Restore can merge records easily.
- Not idiot-proof. This needs to be used by someone who is familiar with the data structure and the object mappings.
- Easy to roll out.
- Moves data to sandboxes as well.
- No longer dedicating a resource to manual efforts.
- Less work and money if disaster recovery is needed compared to Salesforce.
Very similar in features and setup. Spanning Backup for Salesforce was more affordable. After getting set up during the trial we were able to get that trial extended as we negotiated cost and contract and continued to use the same trail as production paid version as they update the subscription, not the install.

Spanning Backup is the best backup software I have used
Spanning is used across our entire organization of approximately 80 active users. Every active user mailbox, as well as Google Drive storage contents, are backed up with Spanning. All files types including Google Docs, Sheets, Slides and Forms as well as Microsoft and Adobe file types are backed up perpetually and available for restoration.
- Perpetual email and file backups.
- No limits on backup volume, capacity or file types.
- Excellent Management Console for Administrative users.
- End-user access available for self-management.
- Easy to enable and disable various accounts for backup.
- Easy to restore emails and files from one account to another.
- Administrative users can backup multiple accounts at one time, but can only restore one account at a time.
- Management console navigation opens additional tabs, but I believe they are working to improve that.
- It would be nice to be able to delete emails and files from user accounts from within Spanning instead of having to login to Google as the user.
- Google Forms meta-data is not able to be restored to other accounts.
- Nonprofit friendly pricing.
- Scales easily to add more accounts.
- No hardware to maintain.
Spanning is superior to Veritas Backup Exec. Often Backup Exec would fail due to the software itself or the premise-based backup media or drive. Veritas Tech Support/Knowledgebase was not helpful in troubleshooting the failures. Also, Veritas was unable to back up our then Microsoft Exchange Server without an additional add-on cost. Barracuda was more reliable, but also required additional expenses for backing up Exchange and Microsoft SQL.

Spanning Backup for GSuite, Worth the Money!
We are currently using Spanning for G Suite to backup several of our more critical users. I enjoy the extra peace of mind knowing that should something get deleted, I've got the users covered. Initially I looked into the software after concerns of an employee exiting the company were brought to my attention.
- Well, first of all it does what its name suggests: it backs up G Suite and does a fantastic job of doing so.
- Recovery of files is as simple as locating what you require and hitting go.
- The setup process took less than 30 minutes.
- Nothing that I would really need? It's a pretty well rounded software as is.
- I've already had to use this to search for emails regarding work for a client, this alone payed for the service.
- It helps me to sleep better knowing my users are covered.
I've not looked at any other products as this met all my needs and was recommend to me.
