Google Analytics Data Backup
As the digital analytics maturity of your organization evolves, the demand for increased control over data becomes a priority.

Benefits
- Data ownership and safeguard
- Access to Google Analytics raw data
- Use SQL to query your Google Analytics data
- Troubleshoot Google Analytics implementation
- Reprocess Data
- Data Audits
How Does it Work?
The Google Analytics Backup works by sending a copy of the hit that is sent to Google Analytics to Snowplow Analytics, creating clickstream data from your current implementation without extra code.
The resulting data is Google Analytics raw data, mostly known as clickstream data and is made available for querying or storage on your Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud.
To enable the backup, you only need to add a single line of code
to your Google Analytics tracking code and reference a javascript plugin.
ga('require', 'spGaPlugin', { endpoint: 'https://events.youdomain.com' });
There is no impact on performance as both the plugin and Google Analytics are load asynchronously. There is also no impact on Google Analytics implementation or data.
