# Create a Google Workspace Plan for Gmail

Create a Google Workspace plan for Gmail. The Google Workspace plan specifies which mailboxes and user groups are backed up and how long the data is retained.

You will assign the Google Workspace plan to the mailboxes and user groups that you add to the Gmail app.

If some mailboxes and user groups have different backup requirements, you can create additional Google Workspace plans for Gmail.
