In my office, I backup my computer files and emails on a monthly basis...most of the time. Sure, it's a bit of a hassle, but when push-comes-to-shove and I need to find an email that was sent 1 1/2 years ago, you can bet your bippie after a little searching I have it in hand!

When moving to "the cloud" to make my emails and documents more accessible, not having the ability to back things up was one of my biggest worries. Well, help has found me! I just found this article that shows you how to download and back up Gmail and other Google data.

Seems I'm a little behind the times, but if you're like me, this new info was a windfall.
