Shoviv Google Workspace Backup and Restore review
A low-cost Windows mailbox backup tool with flexible exports and scheduling.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Shoviv Google Workspace Backup and Restore is Windows desktop software for organizations managing one or more Google Workspace mailboxes. It backs up Google Workspace mailbox data and Google Drive data to local storage, with restore and export options for mailbox, file, and item data. Protected services include Gmail/email, contacts, calendars, and Google Drive. Its focus is practical mailbox protection rather than a broad, multi-platform backup ecosystem.
Pricing is based on a lifetime, one-time license tied to mailbox count. The 10–50 Mailboxes plan costs $39, while 100 Mailboxes costs $290, 200 costs $498, 400 costs $760, 500 costs $845, and 500+ costs $846.69. Each plan includes Google Workspace mailbox backup and restore, lifetime license validity, and free updates. The published evaluation version is limited to the first 50 items per folder. Google Drive backup is presented as a separate product and license on the purchase page, so buyers should account for that distinction when planning coverage.
For day-to-day operations, Shoviv supports daily, weekly, or monthly backup jobs, incremental processing that resumes and prevents duplicates, filters by date, folder, and item type, and multiple concurrent jobs. Mailbox data can be exported to six listed formats, while file data can be restored or exported into Google Workspace mailboxes. Live process reports add operational visibility. The trade-off is a Windows-only deployment with narrower integrations and no point-in-time restore. Choose it when low-cost local mailbox backup and format flexibility matter; consider an alternative when broader platform coverage or point-in-time recovery is required.
