For example, MSP360 Backup for G Suite<\/a> allows you to store mail, documents, and other files\u2019 backup in separate cloud storage of your choice for any desired period.<\/p>\n There are a few tools you can use to strengthen your data safety at no additional cost. We will briefly overview these approaches for emails and Google Disk-based files since in most cases it is a core of your business data.<\/p>\n The simplest way to create a copy of your emails is to connect the email client app using IMAP protocol (you need to enable it in Gmail preferences<\/a>). For example, Microsoft Outlook saves emails to PST files that you can copy to another cloud, external drive, or network storage. But a more accurate way is to additionally set up mail archiving<\/a>, so the mail client could move old emails to a separate file based on some schedule.<\/p>\n Documents, tables, presentations, etc - all these files are stored as regular files in Google Drive. So you can simply install Google Drive desktop client<\/a> and get the mirror of your working folder on the physical hard drive. This data can be then copied by third-party software to external storage.<\/p>\n After creating a \u201cdump\u201d of your business data, you also need to move these files to external storage so it could be used in case something happens with your PC\u2019s drive.<\/p>\n G Suite allows you to move most of the business activities to the cloud, but you should also think about any additional data protection layer. You can use free tools to protect G Suite data, but they are feature-limited and require you to manually configure any backup aspect.<\/p>\n![\"Whitepaper](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Why-You-Need-to-Back-Up-Google-Workspace-WP.png\")
