Bad stuff happens \u2014 and occasionally, it happens to your Google account. One nightmare for those who depend on their Gmail, Google Photos, and other Google apps is to lose access to all that data. This is what happened to a father who sent photos of his child to a doctor using his Android phone<\/a> and found himself suddenly without access to the years of personal data \u2014 contacts, family photos, you name it \u2014 that were in his Google accounts. <\/p>\n

There are other good reasons to have a local backup of your Google info. You may be switching jobs, or maybe you\u2019ve decided to stop using a specific email account, or you just want a copy of all your emails just in case. Whatever your reasons, it\u2019s not a bad idea to back up and export your Gmail and other Google accounts using Google\u2019s Takeout feature. In fact, you can set your accounts to back up regularly, which is a good practice \u2014 especially if you\u2019ve got several years of important stuff packed into them. <\/p>\n

Note: if you\u2019re backing up a company account, you may find that your company has disabled Takeout. There are third-party apps that say they can back up your Gmail, but you should check your company\u2019s policies before you try them out.<\/p>\n
