==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.
