Case Study: Westland Real Estate Group strengthens ransomware resilience with Spanning Backup for Google Workspace

Westland Real Estate Group restores 280,000 folders with Spanning

Westland Real Estate Group, a real estate company in California, faced a significant data loss challenge after a ransomware attack encrypted files synced to Google Drive. Their previous Google Workspace backup solution had failed, not performing a complete backup in eight months and proving incapable of a timely restore. IT Director Jesse Nowlin needed a reliable safety net against such cyber threats and human error for their remote workforce.

The company implemented Spanning Backup for Google Workspace. The solution provided dependable, automatic backups and quick recovery, featuring unlimited backup, Team Drive backups, and cross-user restore. According to Nowlin, Spanning was easy to set up and its licensing automatically added new users. The result was a vastly improved data protection posture that allowed the IT team to sleep better at night, confident in their offsite backups.
