Shoviv Google Workspace Backup and Restore is a paid, self-hosted Windows application for protecting Google Workspace mail, contacts, calendars, and Drive data. Mailbox backups can be saved locally as PST, MBOX, MSG, EML, HTML, or MHT files. Supported PST, OST, OLM, MBOX, MSG, and EML data can be restored or exported to a Google Workspace mailbox. With the appropriate license, multiple Google Drives can be backed up concurrently. Incremental jobs capture changes since the previous run, resume interrupted processes, and filter duplicate items. Schedules can run daily, weekly, or monthly, while filters target dates, folders, and item types. Multiple jobs may run concurrently, and restore options cover mailboxes, files, and individual items. Windows 11 and 10 are recommended; Windows Server 2008 or later is listed, along with several virtual environments. Plans range from $39, paid once to $846.69, paid once. The evaluation version processes the first 50 items per folder.
