Official Partner of Constant Edge
Protect Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace with secure, automated cloud-to-cloud backup. Recover Exchange, Gmail, Teams, Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, calendars, contacts and more following accidental deletion, ransomware or user error.
WHO ARE CLOUDALLY
Cloud backup pioneers since 2011.
Founded in 2011, CloudAlly was one of the first cloud-to-cloud backup providers and launched the first commercially available Microsoft 365 cloud backup in 2014. Now part of OpenText, CloudAlly combines proven backup and recovery technology with the scale of a global information management company. Constant Edge is one of CloudAlly’s leading partners, deploying and supporting the platform for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace customers worldwide.
HOW DOES CLOUDALLY WORK
Automated backup. Precise recovery.
CloudAlly connects securely to Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace using OAuth and runs automated daily backups, with on-demand backups available when needed. Search historical snapshots and recover individual messages, files, folders, calendars, mailboxes or user data without overwriting current information.
- Microsoft 365: Exchange, Teams, Groups, OneDrive, SharePoint and OneNote
- Google Workspace: Gmail, My Drive, Shared Drives, Calendar, Contacts and Tasks
- Searchable point-in-time, cross-user and non-destructive recovery options
WHY SHOULD I USE CLOUDALLY
Your cloud data is still your responsibility.
Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace provide resilient cloud platforms, but customers remain responsible for protecting their own data. Native retention and recovery options vary by workload, licence and policy-and they are not a substitute for an independent backup. CloudAlly protects against accidental deletion, sync errors, ransomware and malicious activity with separate backup copies, long-term retention and granular recovery. It is ISO 27001 certified and supports GDPR and HIPAA compliance requirements.
- Independent backup copies stored separately from your live cloud environment
- Long-term retention beyond native recycle-bin and recovery windows
- Recover from ransomware, bulk deletion, sync errors and user mistakes
- Retain departing employees’ data without keeping their productivity licences active

HOW WE DEPLOY IT
Simple by default. Planned when complex.
For most customers, setup is straightforward: an administrator signs in using OAuth, selects the users and services to protect, and CloudAlly starts backing them up automatically. We provide additional planning for large data volumes, multiple tenants or regional data-residency requirements.
-
STEP 1
Connect securely
An authorised Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace administrator connects the environment using OAuth. No software, infrastructure or DNS changes are required.
-
STEP 2
Choose what to protect
Select the users, workloads, backup location and retention required. We review the configuration and advise on any settings that need additional attention.
-
AUTOMATIC
Backup begins
CloudAlly creates the backup jobs and starts the initial backup automatically. A standard deployment can normally be configured in a single session, although the first backup’s completion time depends on the amount of data.
-
COMPLEX DEPLOYMENTS
Planning across tenants and regions
Multinational organisations may need data stored in different jurisdictions—for example, US data in the US and EU data in the EU. Multiple tenants and very large data volumes may also require a phased approach. In these cases, most of the additional work is planning the scope, storage regions and verification rather than configuring the service.
Most deployments are configured quickly. Multi-region, multi-tenant and high-volume environments take longer to plan, ingest and verify.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long does deployment take?
A standard Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace deployment can usually be configured in around 15 minutes. An administrator connects through OAuth, selects the users and services to protect, and backups begin automatically. Initial backup time depends on data volume. Multi-tenant or multi-region deployments require additional planning and verification.
Can we trial before we commit?
Yes. We offer a 14-day free trial so you can see the backup and recovery capabilities in action before committing. Contact us to get started.
What’s the pricing model?
Standard pricing starts at US$30 per protected user per year. Bespoke pricing is available for organisations with 100 or more users, not-for-profit organisations and educational institutions. We can bill in multiple currencies, including USD, CAD, AUD, EUR, SGD and NZD, with other currencies available on request.
Do prices go up at renewal?
CloudAlly pricing is typically stable at renewal. We will flag any changes in advance and advise on the best package for your seat count and retention requirements.
What Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace data does it back up?
For Microsoft 365, CloudAlly protects Exchange mail, calendars, contacts, tasks and notes; shared mailboxes and public folders; OneDrive, SharePoint and OneNote; and Teams and Groups. Google Workspace coverage includes Gmail, My Drive, Shared Drives, Calendar, Contacts and Tasks. Backups run automatically each day and data is retained for as long as your subscription remains active, unless you request a shorter retention period.
Don’t Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace already protect my data?
Microsoft and Google protect the availability of their platforms and provide native features such as recycle bins, version history and retention policies. These are valuable, but they are not independent backups, and recovery options vary by workload and configuration. CloudAlly adds separate automated backup copies, long-term retention, point-in-time recovery and granular or cross-user restoration.
