- Cloud Backup for Google Workspace now supports backing up and exporting Google Vault data (Gmail, Drive, and shared drives). If your organization wants to enable the Vault protection add-on in the Google Workspace module, contact your AvePoint representative to enable this feature in your tenant’s subscription to Cloud Backup for Google Workspace.
- Administrators can now add multiple users into a restore queue in Cloud Backup for Google Workspace, allowing bulk restores for the users’ Gmail, Drive, Calendar, and Contacts backup data. Users can be selected in **Calendar mode** or imported via CSV file upload.
- New navigation updates are being rolled out across the Confidence Platform, delivering a more intuitive, consistent, and efficient user experience. In Cloud Backup for Google Workspace, the left navigation pane has the following key updates:
- Renamed the following options:
| New | Previous |
|---|---|
| Dashboard | Overview |
| Reporting | Report center |
| Unusual activities analysis | Google Workspace unusual activities analysis |
| Subscription | Subscription consumption |
- Moved **System auditor** and **Subscription** to the **System** section.
- You can now click the new icon () to go to the ReCenter portal.
- Cloud Backup for Google Workspace now supports selecting Chat backup data via the **Calendar mode**. The preview tag has been removed for the Chat service as this protection is now fully supported.
- The **Last Modified By** column has been added to the list of files with unusual activities, showing the email addresses of users who last added or modified the files.
- In **Settings** > **General** > **Backup settings**, you can now configure the **Advanced labels exclusion** setting to exclude more labels from the **Gmail** backup scope, and configure the **Advanced folders exclusion** setting to exclude more folders from the **Drive** or **Shared drives** backup scope.
