Many of us have a question that did have bothered: How to Backup Email from Gmail account locally? While Google has a strong track record of managing data, the fact remains that accounts could be hacked, and the possibility does exist that someone could get locked out of a Gmail account.

Many of us have years of mission-critical business and personal history in our Gmail archives, and it's a good idea to have a plan for making regular backups.

I use SysTools Gmail Backup on my own tenant that backup all my Gmail account mailbox into multiple file formats such as PST/MBOX/EML/EMLX/MSG.

What you all do to backup Gmail account.

    Hi @202599 - you bring up a really good point about how vital it is to back up your data, no matter what programs or platforms you use. I use Google's Backup and Sync cloud storage feature for my personal Gmail.

     

    Cloud hosting is a very hot topic for QuickBooks users as well, as you can imagine! Lots of discussion around that on our Do More With QuickBooks board.

    Hey @202599,

     

    Thanks for the tool recommendation. I personally clean out my email on a semi-annual basis and only keep what I see as truly valuable, which is typically around 500 messages. Then I save the ones I really want to my harddrive, and the rest live on.

     

    Just curious, are you related to SysTools?
