HYCU for Google Workspace vs MSP360 Backup

HYCU for Google Workspace is a web-based data protection service for backing up and recovering Google Workspace content. It covers emails, Shared Drive and My Drive files, contacts, calendars, and tasks. Constant journaling provides frequent protection, while retention is unlimited by default and can be changed to a finite period. Recovery includes individual or full restores for Shared Drive and My Drive, granular email recovery, point-in-time recovery, and restoration of attachments, contacts, calendars, tasks, files, and folders. The service can move email in both directions between Gmail mailboxes, Microsoft 365, and HEX Hosted Exchange. Its SaaS deployment uses no agents or complex maintenance. Search, audit trails, eDiscovery, alerts, notifications, and legal or compliance holds support administrative work. AES 256-bit encryption and TLS/SSL protect data. Immutable, air-gapped backups are designed for ransomware recovery. Pricing is on request; a free trial is available, but there is no free plan.
