Upgrade Cloud Backups with our Advanced Features

Create automated backup jobs to define the scope of the backup and the apps to be backed up, along with custom retention settings. Once the job is created, SysCloud will automatically back up the data once every 24 hours.

Turn on the auto backup feature to automatically enroll new users (such as new hires) to the backup schedule.

When creating a backup job, admins can select the users, domains, organizational units, and Google Workspace apps (Calendar, Google Classroom, Contacts, Gmail, Google Drive, Shared Drive, and Google Sites) to be included in the backup.

 Multiple backup jobs can be created to customize retention settings for different entities within the cloud. Admins also have the option to edit the backup job, if required.

Define how long the backed up data should be retained to remain compliant with federal and state retention laws. Admins can either retain data for an unlimited period or set custom retention periods for different apps. This ensures that the backup archives are not cluttered with data that’s no longer required.

SysCloud offers two types of retention:

Item-level retention, where the retention period is calculated based on the last modified date of the item that is being backed up. Learn more

Snapshot-level retention, where the retention period is calculated from the date of the latest snapshot of the backed-up item. Learn more

Save on subscription costs by backing up multiple domains from a single SysCloud account. Easily switch between domains to administer the backup archives.

Exclude specific file types or files above a certain size when creating a backup job so that only the necessary data is backed up. This helps to speed up the backup process.

Exclude specific users and groups from the backup schedule when creating a backup job. Save on SysCloud licensing costs by excluding users from the backup job.

Get an accurate time of completion for all your base backups, incremental backups, restores, and exports. Admins can track the progress at an account-level, domain-level, app-level, and even at a user-level.

Use the on-demand backup option to instantly initiate backup for specific users. Admins can run an on-demand backup before rolling out major changes to a Google Workspace account such as data migration, third-party app integration, or data deletion to ensure that the latest data is available for restore in the event of data loss or corruption.

Get real-time status of the backup, restore, and export activities. The dashboard provides a complete backup health status for the past 30 days, and restore and export status for the past 90 days.

Administrators can drill down from the dashboard to see the number of in-progress and completed backups tasks, and restore and export requests.

View the total amount of data backed up, the number of days the data has been protected, the number of items restored and exported, the number of users, shared drives and classrooms backed up, and the total storage consumed at an app and domain level, all from a single dashboard.

Quickly identify and resolve any errors with SysCloud’s real-time backup, restore, and export error notifications. Admins can drill down from the dashboard for more information and get helpful tips to fix the errors. 

Get real-time ransomware threat notifications on the Google Workspace dashboard. The ransomware threat card can be expanded to display details of the threat. Admins can further drill down to view details such as the ransomware type, owner of the infected file, and the date when the threat was detected, to take proactive actions. 

With SysCloud, admins can be assured that not a single threat will go unnoticed as the dashboard immediately flags any ransomware threat before the attacker encrypts the files. 

With SysCloud’s Security & Compliance, get a unified view of compliance violations and security alerts right on your dashboard—spot data sharing, detect policy violations, and respond instantly.  

Admins can drill down to investigate flagged files or emails, revoke sharing, and transfer ownership for remediation.  

With SysCloud, admins can address compliance requirements, safeguard sensitive data, and maintain airtight security from a single pane of glass to proactively. 

As part of Data Change Insights, track data changes and get AI-detected anomalies directly on the dashboard for newly added, changed, or deleted items, providing an instant overview of changes. 

Admins can drill down to investigate flagged changes, view anomaly trends, and take corrective actions, such as exporting data for audits or addressing insider threats. 

With SysCloud, admins gain a comprehensive view of data changes and anomalies, enabling proactive responses to maintain data integrity and compliance across their SaaS applications. 

Easily manage searches with the eDiscovery dashboard. The eDiscovery card provides a quick overview of saved searches and legal hold details.

SysCloud offers admins the flexibility to monitor backups at different levels. Easily switch between dashboards to view data at a cloud level, app level, domain level, or even at a user level. 

Use the cloud-selector dropdown to view the dashboard for any specific cloud or application. Type the domain or user name in the search bar to view the dashboard for specific domains or users.

SysCloud scans the data being backed up to detect different types of ransomware, including batch programs, executables, and macro-enabled ransomware files. 

Administrators can review ransomware alerts directly from the dashboard. To take action: 

Transfer ownership: Reassign ownership of the file from the user to another user in the organization. 

Remove sharing: Restrict access to the infected file by revoking all sharing permissions. 

Mark as true positive: Identify all ransomware violations associated with the selected items as confirmed threats.

Delete: Remove the infected file from both SysCloud backup archives and the user’s Google Drive. 

Dismiss: Mark the threat as a false positive if no risk is identified. 

SysCloud identifies files that have been encrypted by ransomware, allowing administrators to delete these compromised files.

In the event of a ransomware attack, SysCloud assists you in restoring a safe version of encrypted files. SysCloud recommends safe versions of the files for recovery and also offers an option to choose from deleted files in the latest known safe backup snapshot.

Automatically scan Google Workspace data with pre-defined policies for regulations. Following are the pre-defined policies:
