How a Marketing Agency Secured 500+ Google Workspace Accounts Before Domain Migration
A digital marketing agency with 500+ employees planned to migrate to a new Google Workspace domain. To prevent data loss, the IT team needed to back up Gmail, Drive, Contacts, Calendars, Google Chats, and Shared Drives.
