Active Backup for Google Workspace is a web service we've purchased for everyone at Riverdale. It automatically creates a daily backup of your GMail inbox, Drive, Calendar, Sites, and Contacts. It also provides an easy-to-use interface to restore your data in the event that, for example, you accidentally trash a Google Drive file, or make a change in one of those files that you would like to reverse.
A new tab will appear and automatically open to Google Drive backups.
My Drive and Shared Drive will appear as options on the left menu. There is a Services icon in the top-right , which allows you to select from: Drive, Mail, Contacts, and Calendar. In a vast majority of cases, folks will want to restore from My Drive.
To review previous versions, you can do one of the following:
Drag the timeline at the bottom
Click the left/right arrows
Click the calendar icon
Select your desired file/folder and hit the Restore button
A window will appear:
We recommend leaving My Drive as the destination
There is an option to restore file sharing permissions
Open your Drive and there will be a folder named Restore_202X****
