Active Backup for Google Workspace

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.

How do I use it?

  2. Input your Riverdale username (Ex: kostrem)
  3. Input your Riverdale passphrase
  4. My Drive and Shared Drive will appear as options on the left menu.
