In short: Redstor Google Workspace backup copies Gmail, Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Contacts, Calendar and Classroom directly from Google's cloud to Redstor's, with unlimited retention, AES-256 encryption and malware scanning. New accounts are protected automatically, files come back fast with InstantData, and backups can be held in UK data centres.
What Redstor Google Workspace backup is
Google Workspace keeps deleted items for a limited time, and an administrator deleting an account or a user emptying Trash can put data beyond reach. Redstor Google Workspace backup takes a separate copy directly from Google's cloud into Redstor's, so it is held off-site, encrypted and immutable.
It is cloud-native and plug-and-play, with no hardware and nothing to install on devices. New accounts added to your Google environment can be picked up automatically.
What is covered
| Area | What Redstor protects |
|---|---|
| Gmail | Mail for each protected account |
| Google Drive | Files including Docs, Sheets and Slides |
| Contacts | Each user's contacts |
| Calendar | Calendars and events |
| Classroom | Classroom data for education users |
Redstor scans newly added or changed backup files for malware and encrypts data with AES-256 from backup through to recovery. Redstor says the service adheres to standards including ISO 27001, GDPR and SOC 2. If you rely heavily on shared drives, ask us to confirm current coverage before you buy.
Restore options
- Granular recovery of emails, calendars, files, chats and notes
- InstantData: critical files are available almost straight away while the full restore carries on in the background
- Large restores and migrations with no egress fees
Restores are run from the same Redstor app you use for Microsoft 365, Azure and other services, so one team can manage everything.
Requirements and deployment
Redstor Google Workspace backup needs no hardware, agents or on-site storage. To connect it you need:
- A Google Workspace administrator to authorise Redstor's access to your domain
- A decision on which accounts to protect, or simply all of them
- A choice of storage region, which for most UK organisations will be one of Redstor's UK sites
Backups then run automatically, directly from Google's cloud to Redstor's, so they do not touch your office internet connection. Redstor supports 30-day trials, which we can use to prove a restore before you commit.
How it is licensed
Redstor Google Workspace backup is one service covering Gmail, Drive, Contacts and Calendar, with Classroom included for education users. Unlimited retention is included at no extra cost, and there are no hardware or egress charges. Schools and academies can also look at Redstor's Education Bundle, which is only available to them.
| Option | Suits |
|---|---|
| Google Workspace backup | Businesses, charities and schools on Google Workspace |
| Education Bundle | Schools and academies that want backup with automated threat detection and instant recovery |

Who it suits and how we help
Redstor suits Google Workspace organisations that want UK-hosted backup and unlimited retention, and it is a strong fit for schools and multi-academy trusts because it covers Classroom. Organisations running both Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 can protect both from one Redstor app.
We count your accounts, connect your Google tenant, choose UK storage and test a restore with you. Compare other options in Google Workspace backup.
