UW-Madison Google Workspace - Preserve your data

This document explains various options for preserving your Google Apps data. The options available vary by application -- some suggestions work better than others for a particular app, so you should make sure to test the back up capabilities of the Google App you are working with. The information below is intended as a guideline, as features provided by Google are subject to change.

Note that any changes made to the files stored in the UW-Madison Google Workspace will not be reflected in the personal Google Account or in the downloaded data so these directions would have to be repeated each time a new change is made.

General Resources

  • Google Takeout allows you to export data from several different apps, including Google Drive, Google Contacts, and Google Calendar. See the following for instructions: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/3024190

  • Third party tools like Backupify offer backup services specifically designed to back up data from Google Apps. Third party tools are not endorsed or supported by DoIT, so make sure to do your own research if you opt for a third party service.
