Be sure to use the -t quick or you'll get ALL your email again! sync -t quick you can point to a specific backup directory like this. Under Arguments, use sync -t quick like this.

#GMAIL BACKUP OPTIONS ARCHIVE#
My email backup was over 350,000 emails so I moved it to my larger D drive by using the -d option on the command line.Īfter this multi-hour sync was finally done, I wanted to make sure I updated the archive every week or so with backups of new emails. Once installed, you run GMVault-Shell and type "gmvault sync The first backup will take HOURS and on Windows will put thousands and thousands of files in your C:\Users\YOURNAME\gmvault-db directory. Setup requires a little attention to detail but once it's done, it's done. I've recently started backing up my WHOLE gmail account with a wonderful free tool called GMVault. I've got years and years of email in my only personal email account, powered by Gmail.
They are labeled Offsite Backup A and Offsite Backup B.
I have two 1TB pocket hard drives that I rotate between my home and the bank. It's nice to have your things backed up to the cloud, but you really need to have local backups as well.
