    Hi Stephen,

    You can easily create Gmail account backup by Google Takeout, just follow the mention steps one by one:

    Step 1. Login to Google Takeout Account (by following the link https://www.google.com/settings/takeout)

    Step 2. Select required item which you want to export like Mail, Profile, Tasks, etc. Click on Next button.

    Step 3. Select Create archive.

    Step 4. Select Manage archives then choose Download option to finalize the process.

    These are very simple steps to download complete Gmail account data.

    Hope the manual method will help you!

    Have a nice day!

    I have one more question in my mind, Google Takeout containing many folders like Mail, Drive, Contacts, Calendar, etc.

    Please tell me about all the folders and what file format they carry?

    Waiting for your answer!

    Hi Henry,

    The manual steps have work fine but in some scenario, it would not work properly such as when we get the backup of Multiple accounts one by one, large size Gmail data, corruption in backup data, etc.

    In that situation, we can trust on third party tool, like Gmail Backup Tool.

    Thanks

    The manual and automatic methods help to create Gmail backup but my concern is how to open .mbox and vCard files?

    Please suggest any manual or automatic way.
