My mistake as I responded poorly. In the linked article there is an image of File Station and it is visible that the file/folder structure...Before (like 10 years ago) I've managed a Synology for a client and we had setup Active Backup for Google G Suite.
I remember that we could browse all the Drive data directory structure normally with FileStation. All the files and folders were as they were in each user's Google drive account.
For the gmail backup we couldn't. It was a database directory structure.
I could then backup Google drive drive to a cloud provider (CrashPlan via Docker). And to an external drive with Hyper-Backup.
Do someone know if it's still the same? Or if now they also use a database for the Google Drive data?
Welcome to the forum!Hi,
We want to implement our Google Workspace backup using Active Backup for Google Workspace.
I'd also like to have a second and third copy of our data.
Is it possible to backup Active Backup for Google Workspace to an external USB hard drive? Or, to a cloud backup provider?
DB structure inside a root folder of your choice that will be mapped to a specific taskHi Rusty,
Thanks for the links. Very helpful.
I also wonder how Active Backup for Google Workspace stores data on the Diskstation. For example, are all our Shared drives stored as simple folders? Or is it stored in a complex database?
What about the emails? Database structure or standard format like eml or mbox?

Good day Rusty,My mistake as I responded poorly. In the linked article there is an image of File Station and it is visible that the file/folder structure is there.
This one:Good day Rusty,
I don't see that image in the links above. Would you show me where to look with a new link, please?
None that I could say works 100%Do you know of any other "Syncing" tool that would allow to properly copy the whole AB folder to a destination of our choice?
Tnx!By the way, that article (Active Backup for Microsoft 365 and DR scenarios) is very good. Thanks for the link.
Alright,None that I could say works 100%
It's rare the tier 1 support knows anything technical, whether regarding Synology, or otherwise.I've spoke with Synology and they said that Google Drives files were in plain human readable files but Google Shared Drives are not. They're stored in a database.
Hi Telos,It's rare the tier 1 support knows anything technical, whether regarding Synology, or otherwise.
To be clear here Google files such as google docs, google sheets, google slides, ... are not natively downloadable as human readable files. As such you cannot back them up in any meaningful way. However, they can be downloaded in alternative formats, such the Microsoft Office format.
Non-Google files can be downloaded/backed-up.
ABB cannot do that. AFAIK, exporting to alternate formats can only be done manually by user.With Google formats converted to Microsoft format? For example, Google Sheets and Docs are kept as .xlsx and .docx?
And the original folder structure is the same?
