Google Workspace Backup: Ransomware-Proof, Instantly Recoverable
Six backup types covering files, disk images, entire machines, system state, applications, and cloud storage, plus unlimited Gmail backup. All immutable. All restorable in minutes.
Google keeps your data available, not backed up. We provide both.
Google does not back up your data
Google Workspace is designed for collaboration and availability, not backup. Google's Terms of Service explicitly state they are not responsible for data you create or store. Accidental deletion is recoverable only for 30 days by default. Ransomware encryption and malicious account takeovers can result in permanent, unrecoverable data loss. ShieldForce makes your Google data permanently restorable on your terms.
Six Backup Types — Complete Coverage
ShieldForce doesn't just back up Gmail. Every layer of your Google Workspace environment — from individual files to full machine images — is protected.
File Backup
Individual files and folders backed up continuously — restore any version of any file in seconds.
Image Backup
Full disk images of every device, allowing full system restores without reinstalling the OS or applications.
Entire Machine Backup
Complete machine backups that let you restore an entire device to a previous state — including OS, settings, and all installed software.
System State Backup
Backs up critical system components — registry, Active Directory, boot files — essential for server and domain controller recovery.
Applications Backup
Application-consistent backup for databases and business apps — restore data in a consistent state, not just raw files.
Backup to Cloud Storage
All backup data stored in secure, immutable cloud storage — protected from ransomware, hardware failure, and physical disasters.
Full Google Workspace Application Coverage

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Google Workspace include backup?
No. Google provides availability and collaboration tools, not backup. Google's Terms of Service are explicit: they are not responsible for data you create or store. ShieldForce fills that gap.
What does ShieldForce back up in Google Workspace?
Gmail (unlimited), Google Drive (Docs, Sheets, Slides, files), Calendar, and Contacts — plus device-level file, image, machine, system state, and application backups for all devices in your environment.
How quickly can I restore data?
Individual Gmail messages and Drive files restore within minutes. Full machine restores are typically available within hours using our cloud-hosted recovery environment.
Is this HIPAA-compliant?
Yes. Immutable storage, policy-driven retention periods, and full audit logs satisfy HIPAA Security Rule backup and data integrity requirements.
Does ShieldForce also protect against Google account takeover?
Yes. Because backups are immutable and stored outside Google's infrastructure, a compromised Google admin account cannot delete or modify your backup data.
