Feature Request: Veeam for Google Workspace

Post by mfahey » 7 people like this post

Back in 2020 Veeam for Google Workspace was in the works and then it got shelfed.

It's time to get this released!

Veeam will be able to capture more K12 business if they were able to backup google workspace. Many K12 districts are still using old backup solutions I.E. Barracuda appliance and the list goes on.

By offering Veeam for Google workspace you can capture a huge backup market for backup & replication.

I don't have stats but most districts are Google workspace. Sure some have office 365.

From a capturing k12 marketshare prospective it makes sense.

How many districts out there have looked at other expensive solutions for Google workspace? Lets here from other K12's.

Hello,
yes, we are aware that many schools in the US use Google workspace. We got many requests from that region / sector. So we evaluated the global need.

Conclusion: we don't go that direction for foreseeable future.

But keep it coming, it's a valid feature request 👍

Best regards,
Hannes

same vote here, we have been developing our business with google workspace since 2015, currently we are using a third party backup solution for this, in addition to veeam b&r for the rest, we really wish Veeam would support this environment: features could be simple initially, then embellish in new releases, like you did for MS365.

+1. Shared drive backup would be a good feature. Many Synology NAS devices can back up Google Workspace, but it would be good to be able to use Veeam.

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone knows if Veeam can back up the whole Google tenant and restore it in the case of being hacked or lost our super admin credentials.

Thank you in advance.

+1 for this much needed feature request. If Synology can do it - why can't Veeam?

Hi all - given the recent article on bleepingcomputer: https://click.email.sans.org/?qs=abd637 ... 8ab5ddfbdf

I really hope to see Veeam step up their game to include a way to backup all google workspace data for customers. Please count this as my vote for this feature!

Most current solutions only protect Gmail, Google Drive, Shared drives, Contacts, and Calendar data. I had a look at our current backup solution and found that a Google Form is backed up as a zip file containing a jpg, a csv file and the html of the form.
The big problem with backing up Google Workspace is that you are not backing up the native document format - you are saving (for example) a converted doc or xls copy.
I have tried a few different solutions and I am yet to find a solution to back up 'all files' in Google Workspace.

Removed last 4 posts with +1's due to them being a spam attack from the same company :)

To future posters:
If everything you want to contribute to the conversation is just "+1", then kindly simply use Like on the original feature request.

+1.
I no longer have on-prem servers, or any servers for that matter. I was a Veeam customer for many years and loved the product. There are NO GOOD backup solutions for Google Workspace, that is compared to what Veeam would do. I use Afi now, but it lacks MANY features that would be native to a Veeam product. Hoping this is the +1 that gets the ball rolling! :)

Hi, Dean. Could you share with us a few such features, perhaps your top 3 at least? I mean, those which "would be native" to Veeam and lacking in other solutions. Thank you!

Would welcome a Veeam backup solution for Google Workspace. We also use a SaaS backup solution that is very lacking and would very much like an option to use Veeam as a backup/recovery solution for Google Workspace, which is our primary collaboration platform. We already use Veeam for our VMWare VDC for backup/recovery.

Gostev,

We have already went with a synology server. Their software is free, all we had to pay for was the hardware. https://www.synology.com/en-us/dsm/feat ... _workspace

You are missing out on capturing the K12 sector by not offering a google workspace solution. I have already explained this to the local rep but it doesn't seem my voice is heard. Please reach out to me and I will explain my position.

Hey Gostev -

I apologize for the delayed response to your February inquiry.

What I Value in a Backup Solution

Veeam has always had:

Intuitive User Experience: Using Veeam was effortless, unlike my current solution. Despite support tickets, I'm unsure about my current backups' accuracy. While test restores work generally, minor inconsistencies arise each time.
Clear Retention Policies: The Veeam console's clear retention policy management is superior to my current provider's murky approach.
Comprehensive Backup Failure Alerts: Timely notifications for partial or complete backup failures are crucial.
These are essential functionalities for any backup product.

Desired Features

Cloud Storage Flexibility: Backing up to my preferred cloud storage (e.g., AWS S3 or Veeam Cloud) would be ideal. While the current offsite backup works, having options is valuable.
Onsite Backup Replication: Replicating backups to an onsite NAS would provide an additional layer of protection.

Veeam's great technical support is something I truly miss.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Dean

+1 vote for this feature request as well. We use AFI today, but as others have mentioned, there are features native to Veeam that are non-existent in other solutions.
Thanks for the consideration, this has been a long time request and feel Veeam would benefit with an expanded customer base.

+1 Vote for this. Beyond the number of k12 schools I see still see using Google, I run into a lot of non-profit 501(c)(3) organizations that thought Google was the best way to go. And, in both cases, they generally lack the knowledge/resources/courage/motivation to move over to Microsoft... or, they are so entrenched in Google with all manner of other 3rd party software integrations that it's just impractical to switch at this point (schools in particular).
