Afi.ai Google Workspace Backup vs Cloud Apps Backup

Afi.ai Google Workspace Backup is a web service for automated backup and data protection across Google Workspace. It covers Gmail, Google Drive, Shared Drives, Contacts, Calendars, Google Sites, Google Directory, Google Classroom, Hangouts chats, and the Drive Computers folder. Restores can target individual items, folders, users, or accounts, either in place or in another account or new folder. Full-text search covers email backups, and individual items or entire accounts can be exported offline. Prior versions can be browsed and restored without a time limit by default, with custom retention policies available. Afi describes ransomware detection, preemptive backups, recovery-point labels, and immutable storage. Admins assign protection levels while schedules and new-user discovery are automated. SaaS Backup costs $3 a month per user, starting from five users, with a 14-day trial and no free plan. Seven storage regions are listed.

Cloud Apps Backup is a web-based backup service for Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. Google Workspace coverage includes Gmail, Google Drive, Google Contacts, and Google Calendar. Microsoft 365 coverage includes Outlook, OneDrive, SharePoint, calendar, and contacts. Backups can be incremental, scheduled, or on demand, with full or granular recovery and one-click restoration. Archiving is listed for both service suites. Security features include two-step verification and 256 AES encryption. The service uses bring-your-own storage: no data storage is provided, while storage selection is part of the offering. Reseller tools include white labeling and user monitoring, with premium partner support. Annual per-user offers range from $12 a year for more than 1000 users to $20 a year for fewer than 200 users. A separate free option backs up 3Gb of Office 365 Home data.
