Case Study: The Animal Foundation stays mission-focused and boosts productivity with Spanning Backup

The Animal Foundation Keeps Focused on Mission-Critical Work with Spanning Backup

The Animal Foundation, Nevada’s largest open‑admission animal shelter with about 155 staff, needed to protect its digital records while keeping scarce staff focused on animal care. After moving from paper to Google Apps, the organization — supported by a one‑person IT team — faced the risk that any data loss would dramatically hinder productivity and distract from mission‑critical work.

They adopted Spanning Backup for Google Apps, which delivers easy remote access, fast single‑file restores, and full account exports (with cross‑user restore available to admins), allowing quick recovery by non‑IT staff. As a result, backup and recovery require little setup or monitoring, downtime from data incidents is minimized, and the team can spend more time on animal welfare rather than administrative recovery.
