    Spanning Backup for Google Workspace Saves the Day When You Get into Trouble.

    “Moving to Google Workspace was a big deal for us. There was a steep learning curve among our staff and educators. To be honest, people did some weird stuff during the transition,” explains Matt Smith, IT Administrator. “Thankfully, Spanning was there to get us out of trouble.”

    The Wilcannia-Forbes Catholic Education Office is part of a consortium with other Australian dioceses’ Catholic Education Offices. Their IT team decided, based on the research done by other members of the consortium, that Spanning Backup for Google Workspace would be the best solution for protecting their Google Workspace data from loss, whether due to “weird stuff” or common issues like human error, sync error, and even malware.

    “Google is an amazing product but you need a solution like Spanning Backup to get you out of trouble,” Smith says. “As a system admin, backup is one of the most important aspects of your job …if your backup is not working, you need to get it resolved. The loss of data is hugely detrimental to any organization.”
