Spanning

SaaS backup for Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 and Salesforce

Visit Spanning

Spanning Cloud Apps provides automated cloud-to-cloud backup and recovery for Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and Salesforce. The service addresses data loss caused by user error, malicious activity, deletion requests and programmatic or sync errors, which SaaS providers do not protect against. Backups cover Microsoft 365 Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business and Teams; Google Workspace Gmail, Google Drive, Shared Drives, Calendars and Contacts; and Salesforce records, metadata, attachments, customizations and messages.

Core capabilities include daily automated backups, unlimited on-demand backups, granular search-based restore, point-in-time restore and self-service restore for end users. Additional features include BackupIQ intelligent alerting for Google Workspace, .pst and .eml export, SharePoint Lists backup, offline access to Salesforce backups, auto-assignment via Google Groups and Organizational Units, and integrations with Autotask, BMS and Vorex for smart ticketing. FLEXspend allows backup spend to be adjusted when data moves between platforms.

Spanning is sold to enterprises and Managed Service Providers, with MSP-specific management functionality. It is packaged as a single all-inclusive plan with unlimited backup retention, with volume pricing available.
