HYCU for Google Workspace review
A focused Workspace backup service with continuous protection, recovery, and eDiscovery.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
HYCU for Google Workspace is a cloud-delivered backup and recovery service for organizations using Google Workspace. It protects Gmail email and attachments, Shared Drive, My Drive, contacts, calendars, and tasks. Teams that need continuous email protection, recoverable Workspace data, and tools for investigations or legal holds are the clearest fit. The service does not require agents or customer-managed backup infrastructure, which keeps its operating model centered on a managed web service.
The published Google Workspace plan covers backup and recovery for the Workspace environment. Continuous email backup works through journaling, while files and other protected services can be restored at a granular level or in full. Point-in-time recovery supports recovery to an earlier state, and retention is unlimited by default with finite retention configurable. Global search across backups, eDiscovery, and legal holds add capabilities for organizations that need to locate and preserve data rather than only restore deleted items. Immutable and air-gapped backups provide additional protection options for backup copies.
HYCU’s ecosystem fit is deliberately narrow: its listed integration is Google Workspace, and the protected services are Gmail email, Shared Drive, My Drive, contacts, calendars, and tasks. That focus suits teams whose primary collaboration environment is Workspace and who want coverage across both productivity data and shared files. According to the vendor’s pricing page, the plan is quote-based, and there is no free plan. The platform is web-only, so organizations seeking a broader multi-platform backup service or publicly listed pricing should consider alternatives. HYCU is a strong match for Workspace-centric teams prioritizing continuous backup, point-in-time recovery, eDiscovery, and legal holds.
