This information is based on public sources as well as interviews with Afi partners & customers. In addition to the performance metrics, the tools were evaluated based on the vendor background, company size and history. Each solution was assigned a (somewhat subjective) grade reflecting the adequacy of backup, restore, management and reporting features.

Measured as the average restore speed for one G Suite user backup with 4 GB of data in Gmail and 15 GB in Google Drive. During the first backup all protected data has to be pulled from the Google Workspace account, which takes considerably more time to finish compared to the second and subsequent "incremental" backups which only sync the data that has changed since the last backup. It is calculated as the number of successful backup runs divided by the total backup runs. It takes into account all Google Drive and G Suite Gmail backup runs during the 2 test weeks. The following performance metrics were measured during the test: Finally, the Google Drive and G Suite user email backups were restored (within the same domain) using each tool. The tools were running automated backups of the entire domain for 2 weeks and we measured the number of total backup jobs, how many of them failed and how many succeeded.

The domain has 2 TB in total storage across all users & Drives and includes what we consider a representative set of files and emails: large 10GB+ media files, large number of small text files (source code) as well as native G Suite files such as documents, spreadsheets and presentations. Each G Suite (Google Workspace) backup tool included in the review was installed on the test domain with 80 users and 20 Shared (Team) Drives.
