Spanning Backup vs SysTools Email Backup Wizard

Spanning Backup provides cloud backup and recovery for Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and Salesforce. It runs daily automated backups and supports item-level recovery, including granular and point-in-time restores for administrators and end users. Google Workspace coverage includes Gmail, Google Drive and Shared Drives, Calendars and Contacts. Microsoft 365 coverage includes Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business and Microsoft Teams. Salesforce protection covers records, metadata, attachments, customizations and messages. Spanning describes unlimited backup retention, including an unrestricted policy for Microsoft 365, and offers a single all-inclusive plan with no tiers and volume pricing available. The service lists ransomware protection and audit logs. Its security measures include OAuth 2.0, object-level 256-bit AES encryption at rest and TLS encryption in transit. A 14-day trial includes unlimited backup and restore, but installation requires administrator status. Pricing is available on request.

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. Date filters, incremental backup of new mail, automatic retries, and resuming interrupted jobs are available. SysTools says folder hierarchy, attachments, headers, timestamps, and read status are preserved. Destinations include local drives, USB devices, mapped network locations, and NAS paths. OAuth 2.0 sign-in is supported for Microsoft 365 and Gmail, without storing those passwords, according to the maker. Windows and macOS versions are offered. The demo handles up to 100 items from the first five folders. Full Version License (Windows) costs $5 per user, billed once, with five users minimum and $25 total.
