G Suite is the best thing that has ever happened in the business industry. Working in G Suite will bring you so much comfort. But still, it needs protection from ransomware attacks and attempts to steal your data. That's why you need to do Google Apps backup with the help of https://spinbackup.com/products/google-apps-backup/. This way, your data will be safely stored in the cloud, and no one will able to steal it.

You will most likely need an expert's physical support or via Video. But what happens often is that you most likely did not set the priority right. So, please check your priority setup in your server configuration.
