William Reese CIO Chose Spanning Backup 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.

TR Tim Roberts IT Director Chose Spanning Backup Datto SaaS Protection Incentivized Helpful?	UpSafe (discontinued) Verified User Anonymous Chose UpSafe (discontinued) We use the shared cloud-based business drive, but the emails are not saved here—only the files the members share.

Greg Roberts Broker/Associate Realtor Chose UpSafe (discontinued) A similar software that I have used is Apple iCloud. However, this seems to have even more limited storage and requires you to purchase more often. I struggle with backing my devices up as well. Incentivized Helpful? Sarah Bandy Executive Director Chose UpSafe (discontinued) I prefer Upsafe Free Gmail Backup as it works to effectively save and protect our important brainstorms and conversations, as Google auto-saves in real-time. Cloud Backup for Office365 is slightly clumsier and harder to share as so many team members don’t pay for Microsoft … Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Spanning Backup	UpSafe (discontinued)
Likelihood to Recommend	The only issue we have is when we remove the user from the integrated AD group we need to manually go back and remove the licensing, but there is the option to have archived accounts as well for temporary holds in case we want to disable the account in 365/AD, but need to hold on to the backups for a little longer. Incentivized Tim Roberts IT Director Read full review	Upsafe Free Gmail Backup is well suited for organizations especially in the financial services or sales companies or any company that has compliance standards that need to be met. It is very easy to go back and recall any email that was lost previously when being audited as well. Incentivized AM alim mukhida AE Read full review
Pros	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. Incentivized William Reese CIO Read full review	Google Cloud Account backup app. All-in-one solution to backup your Google Account. Able to restore the whole Google account or just selected files or emails in a few clicks. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Thus far, Spanning has completely fulfilled all of our backup needs, and we are completely satisfied. While we haven't needed technical support yet, we were told that this is conducted via email rather than via phone. JP Geygan Vice President Read full review	There’s a limited amount of Gb space you are provided. It's a bit "quirky" at times. Overall, a good piece of software. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	It was hands down, one of the easiest solutions to implement overall and has some of the best features also compared to other similar products from many SaaS backup companies. We also integrated the Dark Web monitoring too and it has helped us secure accounts we didn't know had issues, so has improved our security posture too. Incentivized Tim Roberts IT Director Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	I would like a retention option on the data, but since this feature does not currently exist, I give it a 9. Everything has met our standards and needs and we are now freed up from the manual efforts it was taking for backing up Salesforce using the out-of-the-box features of Salesforce. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	The support for this software has been very impressive. I have not had any problems as I have been using it for the past year. I never have to worry about what may happen if I lose a file because I know it can be recovered by the support provided here. Incentivized Greg Roberts Broker/Associate Realtor Read full review

Return on Investment	No longer dedicating a resource to manual efforts. Less work and money if disaster recovery is needed compared to Salesforce. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Free means that we had nothing to lose to give it a try! The staff time spent learning the program has been really worthwhile, as it was relatively quick. I think Upsafe Free Gmail Backup has given our team peace of mind with no price tag.
