Afi and Google Vault: Backup vs Archiving (1/2)
Key differences of Afi G Suite Backup compared to Google Vault:
- Data for deleted G Suite users is retained in Afi.ai for as long as needed. In Google Vault all data is erased when G Suite user is deleted
- Point-in-time restore available for all backed up data. In Google Vault only latest versions for non-native G Suite file types are kept which does not protect against in accidental overwrites
- Afi recovery features allows automated direct restore to user accounts. Vault has no recovery functionality, only bulk data exports offline
- Afi protects Contacts, Calendars, structure of folders, rights & permissions. Vault does not retain any (meta) data that’s not potentially relevant for legal matters and investigations
