What it is
Afi.ai Google Workspace Backup is a web service that automates backup and protection for Google Workspace. It covers Gmail, Google Drive, Shared Drives, Contacts, Calendars, Google Sites, Google Directory, Google Classroom, Hangouts chats, and the Drive Computers folder. Users can restore items, folders, or accounts to the same or another account, either in place or into a new folder. Full-text search spans email backups, while individual items and complete accounts can be exported offline. Prior versions can be browsed and restored without a time limit by default, with custom retention policies available. Administrators assign protection levels by organisational unit or user; Afi manages schedules and discovers new users and Drives. The service describes ransomware detection, preemptive backups, recovery-point labels, and immutable storage. SaaS Backup costs $3 per user per month, starting at five users, with a 14-day trial and no free plan. Storage can be placed in seven listed regions.
