Cloud Apps Backup vs Kernel Google Workspace Backup and Restore

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.

Kernel Google Workspace Backup and Restore is Windows software for backing up and restoring data from Google Workspace. It covers Gmail, contacts, calendars, Drive, Shared Drive, Groups, Chat, Docs, and Sheets. Mailbox lists can be supplied in a CSV file, and backup jobs can span multiple domains. An incremental option skips items already migrated and captures newly added data. Google Chat backups include direct and group chats, spaces, and history; attachments are saved separately, and chat content can be exported to PDF or HTML. Google Docs and Sheets can be exported to local or network storage while preserving their content and formatting. Workspace exports include PST, MSG, EML, PDF, DOC, DOCX, MHT, and HTML. Restore choices include selected data, folders, mailboxes, Workspace accounts, and Google Groups. It can restore PST and OST data to Workspace, and the vendor says Outlook is not needed for PST restoration. The trial is limited to 10 items per folder and five Drive documents per account. Prices include $49, paid once for a single-mailbox backup license and $99 as a one-time purchase for a single-mailbox backup-and-restore license.
