Case Study: Mannheim School District 83 achieves reliable Google Apps protection and fast recovery with Spanning Backup

Spanning Backup Quietly Saves the Day for Mannheim School District 83

Mannheim School District 83, a PreK–8 district in Franklin Park, IL serving roughly 3,088 students across five schools and a district office, switched to Google Apps in 2011 and needed a reliable way to protect its cloud data. Network Administrator Jay Duff wanted a backup solution to guard against human error and ensure compliance with FOIA requests after moving away from a costly licensing model.

They implemented Spanning Backup, which runs daily and offers simple admin tools for fast restores. Spanning quietly recovered deleted teacher emails and enabled cross-user restores when staff were out, delivering affordable, unobtrusive protection for Gmail, Drive and other Google Apps—helping the district recover quickly and giving IT confidence that data and reputations are secure.
