This release gives Google Workspace a backup platform with the ability to inspect backed up data instantly and make recovery decisions with full confidence.
Vast Edge a leader in enterprise cloud backup solutions, announces the launch of its new backup solution for Google Workspace. Independent analyst firms such as IDC, Forrester, and Gartner have consistently recommended continuous full and incremental backups with strict recovery point (RPO) and recovery time (RTO) objectives for mission-critical workloads. While Google Workspace offers great built-in protection, third-party research from Gartner show that these improved backup solutions fill the critical gaps in recovery and compliance.
According to a 2025 State of SaaS Backup and Recovery report, 87% of IT pros experienced data loss in SaaS environments last year, but only 14% could recover within minutes. A Forrester TEI study on Google Workspace found a 336 percent ROI and $57.3M in net present value over three years due to productivity and security gains. Vast Edge completes that ROI with a Google Workspace backup solution ensuring your protected collaboration data translates into uninterrupted operations and regulatory assurance.
