To use Google Workspace Backup manually, you can export data from Google services like Gmail, Drive, Contacts, and Calendar through Google Takeout. Start by selecting the desired data, choose the export format, and download it to your local storage. However, this process is time-consuming, as large data exports can take hours, and maintaining the integrity of files during manual backup can be challenging. You may also have to periodically repeat the process to ensure your backups are up to date.
Alternatively, the Cigati Google Workspace Backup Tool simplifies the process. It automates the backup of emails, contacts, calendars, and documents from Google Workspace accounts, allowing users to schedule backups, save them in various formats, and avoid potential human error. The tool ensures the safety of data with encryption, provides selective backup options, and allows easy restoration when needed, offering a hassle-free and efficient backup experience.
