Integrate Google Workspace Backup with C2 Easily
How to Integrate Google Workspace Backup with Synology C2
Google Workspace is essential for businesses relying on Gmail, Drive, Shared Drives, Contacts, and Calendar for daily operations. While Google provides excellent platform reliability, it does not offer full backup protection. Data loss can still occur due to accidental deletion, sync errors, ransomware, insider threats, or expired retention periods.
Integrating Google Workspace backups with Synology C2 ensures your organization has a secure, scalable, and easy-to-manage cloud-to-cloud backup system. Synology C2 Backup provides automated, encrypted, and compliant backup storage specifically designed to protect all Google Workspace workloads.
This guide explains how to integrate Google Workspace backup with Synology C2 and why it is one of the most reliable solutions for long-term data protection.

Even though Google stores data in the cloud, it is still vulnerable to:
Accidental deletion
User or admin mistakes
Ransomware-infected devices
Corrupted file syncs
Malicious insider behavior
Incomplete retention policies
Account deletion during staff turnover
Synology C2 Backup eliminates these risks by creating continuous, independent backups of all Google Workspace data.
