IDrive Launches Google Classroom Backup to Protect Digital Learning Data

IDrive announced the launch of Google Classroom Backup, a new addition to its Google Workspace cloud backup solution designed to protect critical educational data. As institutions increasingly rely on Google Classroom to support teaching and learning, this new offering ensures that announcements, classwork, assignments, classroom rosters, grades, and associated drive files are securely backed up and recoverable. 

With the rise of digital classrooms and collaborative educational environments, the risk of data loss due to accidental deletion, cyberattacks, ransomware, or system failures has never been more significant. Google Classroom Backup from IDrive offers schools and educational administrators a robust, cloud-to-cloud safeguard to preserve classroom continuity and protect learning materials. 

Comprehensive Protection for Education Data
IDrive’s Google Classroom Backup provides organizations with an intuitive, secure way to defend against data loss by:

• Backing up complete classroom environments – including announcements, classwork, people (student and teacher information), grades, and drive files, not just individual files
• Automated, frequent backups – up to 3 automatic backups per day maintain multiple recovery points for flexible and precise restores
• Ransomware defense and point-in-time restores – snapshot-based backups allow institutions to recover data to specific points before corruption or attack
• Centralized, multi-domain support – administrators can manage backups across multiple school domains with ease
• Secure storage and transfer – enterprise-grade AES-256 encryption protects all backed-up classroom data in transit and at rest
