Gmail Backup & Export Software to PST and MBOX is a Windows desktop program for people who want a Gmail backup on their own disk and not only in the cloud. It connects to the mailbox over IMAP, shows each folder and label together with how many messages it holds, and writes whatever you tick as EML, MBOX or PST files. That makes it a practical route for Gmail backup export to PST and MBOX. Run it again later and it fetches only the messages that arrived since the previous pass, without downloading the rest again.
🛠️ How to use
1. Install the program and click Connect Gmail account.
2. Enter your address and a Google app password. Google issues one only after 2-Step Verification is switched on.
3. Tick the folders and labels to save, then pick EML, MBOX or PST and a target folder on any drive.
4. Click Start backup. Next time, open the same mailbox and click Download new emails.
💼 Why IT and office teams pick it
• The program writes the PST itself, so the machine doing the export to PST does not need Outlook installed.
• Access is read-only. Nothing in the account gets erased, moved or flagged as read, and messages come down to the PC directly, with no stop on third-party servers.
• A stopped or dropped run picks up at the same message. The program retries a lost connection several times and checks free disk space before it starts.
• Every Gmail label turns into a folder in the backup, so sorting by client or project carries over to disk.
• Presets cover Yahoo Mail and iCloud Mail, and any other IMAP server can be added by host, port and encryption.
👥 Who uses it
Home users keeping ten or more years of personal mail, freelancers whose client threads are sorted by Gmail labels, and the person who maintains PCs for family or a small office and runs a Gmail backup for several mailboxes one after another.
❓ FAQ
Does Gmail support PST files?
No. Gmail neither opens nor creates PST. This tool reads your mail over IMAP and builds the Outlook data file locally during the Gmail backup.
How do I backup my entire Gmail?
Tick every folder and label you use. All Mail is unticked by default so labeled messages are not stored twice, and you can tick it as well if you archive mail without labels.
How do I back up a very large Gmail mailbox?
Google sets a daily ceiling on IMAP downloads per account. When a run reaches it, the program stops and says so, and clicking Continue backup on another day resumes from that point.
Can I keep a Gmail backup on an external drive?
Yes. Any folder works as the target, including one on a USB disk, and later runs keep adding new messages to that same copy.
🆓 Free trial and system requirements
The free trial keeps the 25 most recent messages per folder, with no time limit. You need Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit, and a personal Google account with an app password to sign in.
Most backup tools leave the backup drive plugged in and mounted — which means ransomware can encrypt your backups along with everything else. RansomShield runs your backup on a schedule, verifies it, generates a health report, and then disconnects the drive. An air gap by default, not as an enterprise add-on. Set it up once; it runs itself.

LTO tape offers cost-effective offline storage, local disks enable fast restores, and network shares use SMB and NFS protocols. Cloud storage supports S3-compatible providers, with credentials stored locally. A virtual tape drive allows workflow testing, and archives can be restored from any source.

BackupDrill backs up Supabase projects and proves the backups restore. Each backup is a standard pg_dump of the project's Postgres database, plus its Storage files once the project's S3 keys are added, written to an S3, R2, B2 or Wasabi bucket the customer owns. Paid plans run a restore drill every week: BackupDrill restores the latest backup into a throwaway Postgres and checks what came back, including how many tables restored, which ones are empty, and whether a sample of Storage files still matches. Failures you need to fix, like a changed database password or a bucket key without write access, are emailed to you; platform-side failures come to us and we fix them. The backup and drill engine is an open-source CLI (MIT), so the same checks can be run by hand. The Free plan covers one project with weekly backups; paid plans start at $19/month.
VPS Snaps is automated backup software for developers, agencies and MSPs who
run their own servers.
It connects to your cloud providers and your servers to run backups on a
schedule — and your data never passes through us. Provider snapshots are
created inside your own account on DigitalOcean, Hetzner, Vultr, Linode, AWS
EC2, Google Compute Engine or Microsoft Azure, and stay restorable from that
provider's console whether or not you keep using VPS Snaps. Everything else
uploads directly to S3-compatible storage you own: Amazon S3, Cloudflare R2,
Backblaze B2, DigitalOcean Spaces, Wasabi, UpCloud, or any custom endpoint. We
keep the run log and the file path, not your backups.
Beyond snapshots, VPS Snaps backs up PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB and MongoDB
over SSH, Docker volumes and compose files, and any file path you point it at.
It can scan a connected server and detect WordPress, Laravel, Craft CMS and
Ghost installs, reading each platform's own config to create matched file and
database jobs in one click. Kubernetes namespaces are supported through a
service account token, with no in-cluster agent required.
For servers with no public SSH or API access, a Docker-based agent holds an
outbound connection to VPS Snaps and runs jobs locally — no inbound firewall
rules or public IP needed.
Database and file backups restore from the dashboard onto any server in your
workspace, including one the backup didn't come from. A check-only mode
verifies an archive against the checksum recorded at backup time without
changing anything.
Success and failure notifications go to email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google
Chat and Discord on every plan, including the free one. The free plan needs no
credit card.
