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.

SysTools Email Backup Wizard backs up email accounts and exports messages as PST, MBOX, EML, MSG, or PDF files. The product page lists more than 225 supported services, including Gmail, Outlook.com, Yahoo Mail, Zoho Mail, AOL Mail, iCloud Mail, GMX, Rediffmail, GoDaddy Webmail, Zimbra Mail, RoundCube, and other IMAP servers.
