We have an illusion in mind that keeping our data in our email accounts is safe and we will not lose it anyhow. But this is somewhere we go wrong. In today’s world where every stuff is there on internet we try to treat it as a God seeming to be flawless. But we are wrong our data are as important as life today. So keeping their backup is the most important thing for us.
There is Gmail Data Loss recently. While the victims are less than 1% but as a whole 37,500 lost their emails, chat logs and contacts. Well Google is still working on this issue of data loss and has created an Apps Status Dashboard to log any updates.
Since the data is now stored on Cloud so this kind of unfortunate event will happen. It is upon us who have to backup our data. Whether it is Google, Yahoo, Microsoft or AOL, they all store data on cloud. So if are lucky enough to survive the data lost, you should start making a backup of your emails, chatlogs and contacts.
How to create a backup
1) Gmail users have the option to export their Contacts from Gmail to Microsoft Excel in CSV format. In the left navigation pane: Contacts->More actions->Export->Outlook CSV format from the menu
2) For creating a backup of your emails, you can go for IMAP or POP3. Go to Settings and Enable IMAP or POP3 Servers.
Cheers!!!
