Afi SaaS Backup vs Mail Backup X

Afi SaaS Backup is a web service for protecting Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 data. Covered workloads include Gmail, Drive, Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams. Automated backups run multiple times daily, with point-in-time recovery, unlimited retention and item-level or account restoration. Full-text search, content preview and offline export use native formats. Afi describes AI-based ransomware detection, preemptive backups, clean recovery-point labels and immutable storage. Security includes TLS 1.3 in transit, AES 256-bit encryption at rest and customer-managed keys through Google, AWS and Azure KMS. The service lists SOC 2 Type II audits and support for GDPR, HIPAA and PCI DSS. Storage regions include the US, UK, EU, Switzerland, Canada and Australia. The SaaS Backup plan costs $3 a month per user, starting from five users, with a 14-day trial.

Mail Backup X is a mail backup, archive, management, and conversion product for home users and businesses. It backs up Apple Mail, Outlook, Office 365, Thunderbird, Postbox, and online services that support IMAP or Microsoft Exchange. Backups run continuously, and archives can be restored or exported and converted into EML, PST, RGE, MBOX, and OLM formats. Search filters include sender, subject, words, date range, attachment type, and AND/OR queries. Backups can be mirrored to Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox, FTP, or USB storage. The vendor says archives are encrypted and stored on destinations controlled by the user rather than its servers. If a user loses the personal encryption key, even the vendor cannot decrypt the data. Team Edition adds remote backup management, an admin dashboard, and alerts about team backup status. Personal Edition costs $59, paid once for one user, up to five mail profiles, installation on two computers, and one year of maintenance updates. A fully functional 15-day trial and 24 x 7 email technical support are offered. It supports macOS 10.13 and above and Windows 8 and above, with native NAS apps for Synology and QNAP.
