Keepit for Google Workspace

Set-and-Forget Backup for Gmail, Drive, and the Entire Google Ecosystem

What Is Keepit for Google Workspace?

Google Vault is an eDiscovery and archiving tool. It is not a backup solution, and Google themselves will tell you that. If a user deletes a file from Google Drive and empties the trash, it is gone after 25 days. If an admin removes a user account, everything associated with that account is permanently destroyed after 20 days. There is no "undo" button at Google HQ.

Keepit for Google Workspace provides automated daily backup of your entire Google environment to Keepit's independent, immutable cloud infrastructure. Every backup is stored outside of Google's ecosystem entirely, so a compromise of your Google tenant — whether from phishing, insider threat, or misconfigured admin policies — cannot touch your backup data.

Recovery is designed to respect the way Google Workspace actually works. Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Apps Scripts are restored in their native Google formats rather than being converted to generic file types. Administrators can scope backup by organisational unit or group, keeping costs predictable and management straightforward. The platform includes specific GDPR "Right to Be Forgotten" (RTBF) compliance controls, preventing restricted data from being accidentally restored to production.

How It Compares

Acronis and Druva both offer Google Workspace backup, but they run on public cloud infrastructure underneath — typically AWS. That means your Google backup is sitting on yet another hyperscaler, introducing the same shared-fate risk you were trying to avoid. Keepit operates on entirely independent infrastructure with a flat-fee model that covers unlimited hot storage. There are no per-GB charges, no egress fees, and no tiered retention pricing. At scale, this saves organisations a fortune compared to Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud or Druva inSync, where storage overages and data retrieval costs can blow out budgets. For Google-first Australian organisations, Keepit is the cleaner, cheaper, and more resilient choice.
