THE #1 SAAS BACKUP SOLUTION FOR EDUCATION

NEVER WORRY ABOUT DATA LOSS AND STAY FOCUSED ON EDUCATING


Educators’ jobs are already among the most important and challenging on Earth without having to worry about data protection in the cloud. But if you don’t back up Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, or Salesforce data, you may be at risk of losing critical student data, research files, and more. We created Spanning Backup to protect against data loss due to anything from human error to ransomware – so you can focus on what you do best: educating, researching and inspiring.

Spanning Backup requires no effort with setup or to restore data

We’ve been running email and file servers for a long time, and we know that restoring data is part of what we have to do, either due to accidental deletions or on orders from our attorney and you can’t call Google and ask them to restore a critical email. Spanning Backup has required nearly zero effort on our part. It just works, every day. Google protects us against system-wide catastrophic failures, but it doesn’t protect us from ourselves.

With installation in less than a minute and video tutorials to walk you through the process, you can confidently use the cloud to work and communicate collaboratively without concern about disappearing data.
