I purchased a 5 user licence of Google Apps for Work to take advantage of the unlimited storage in Google Drive with the belief that I would be able to implement an off-site backup plan by creating an email account for each department and backup their data from the NAS backup to the appropriate google drive account. Although not supported yet by Google I was told by multiple sources that my plan was very do-able and was told by Google that there are 3rd party options available. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I'd like to know first if anyone out there is doing this and how. Is there a best practice out there yet? Software, etc.?

Off site backup to Google Drive

Google Workspace is a suite of cloud computing productivity and collaboration software tools and software. It includes Google’s popular web applications including Gmail, Drive, Hangouts, Calendar, and Docs. While these products are available to consumers free of charge, Google Workspace adds business-specific features such as custom email addresses at your domain and storage for documents and email.

Google Workspace

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
