So now you see WHY you need to back up Gmail. It can be a nightmare for users that get their accounts disabled, which is why you need to back up Gmail using another solution.Īn incident of human error, Google error or malicious deletion could potentially cost you a lot of time, money and more. You are guilty until proven innocent in these cases and without any official Google support, it can be a tough and time-consuming task to get your account back IF you are even able to. Google disables accounts if they even suspect them of a ToS violationĪnother problem with Google is that if they suspect you of breaking their ToS, your account will be deleted. Even worse, there have been cases where Google has accidentally deleted Gmail accounts.
As noted above, a hacker could delete your emails, YOU could accidentally delete your emails or someone you authorize to access your account could accidentally delete your emails.
Google’s backup is great for fires, floods, hurricanes or other natural disasters, but it doesn’t offer a great solution for user error. Just because Google saves your emails on multiple machines doesn’t mean that this is a bulletproof backup solution. This is why you need to back up these services as well and I’ll tell you how at the end of this article. Some of the services involved include Amazon S3, Dropbox, Evernote and Google Drive. There have been a number of recent incidents involving data loss through a variety of cloud services. Gmail does not save your emails to your hard drive, it is strictly a cloud service, which means that you get the convenience of access from anywhere but unlike other clouds services that allow you to retain a copy of the files on your hard drive, Gmail does not. if you use Gmail for your business this means that you could lose important documents or attachments. But what if a data loss occurs and you lose emails that you had previously saved? Or what if you lose access to your Gmail account and can’t get back in it? If your account is hacked, the hacker could easily delete every email that you’ve been saving for years.
Emails are an integral part of our lives- so much so that we often take it for granted.
