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

- 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
