backing up chat history

does anyone know how to backup the chat history folder in gmail? latest version of gmail-backup doesn't seem to do that

Hi all, do you think that

Hi all, do you think that one can use this wonderful utility to "move" mail from one google account to another? I just thinking of switching to Google Apps for Domain and its seems that I can use "restore" function to upload all my e-mails to new google apps account.

Has someone went through this?

Backup/restore of contacts would be nice too, any suggestions? Maybe is this feature in ToDo list already :-)

Hi

Yes, it is possible to copy emails between your accounts - this night I tried to copy all my e-mails to my testing account. It take about 12 hours and the restoration was successful.

Since GMail is able to construct the contact-list from your e-mails, so many contacts are moved too. But in the current version we don't copy the real contact list from GMail.

Definitely

Yes it is possible. You can backup your emails from one account and move it to another account. You use the same backup directory but you change the login email.

gmail to gmail

Is it possible to BACKUP from a standard Gmail account abc@gmail.com with IMAP enabled and RESTORE to another standard (xyz@gmail.com, not Google Apps) account with IMAP enabled? Any things I need to know?

Yes, it is possible. You do

Yes, it is possible. You do not need to know anything specific. Just change the email adress and the password when you restore your emails.

More clarity on how to use templates

Might be useful to provide clarity on how to use the templates. For example, I found that if you put the # directly before or after a \ (e.g. C:\Gmail backups\#$year\$month.zip) the directories and zip files don't get created. You have to put it directly after your root backup folder instead of the \.

The problem here is that the backup program still runs, it just doesn't save the messages anywhere.

At least far as I could see.

Some examples would be useful - I'd give some, but I am not 100% sure how the templating works.

Cheers for a great little app!

Just to clarify - what I

Just to clarify - what I want to do is create the following layout:

Gmail Backups\$YEAR\$MONTH.zip

E.g. A folder for each year with a zipfile for each month. The above string doesn't put the files into a zip file.

Can someone explain the correct way of doing this. I've tried several but none seem to work.

Thunderbird format

Hi,

The program works great, but I have one question. Messages are saved in Thunderbird format, but I do not have Thunderbird installed (I use Outlook).

Is this a problem if I ever needed to restore from my GMAIL backup files?

Thanks,

Richard

Running multiple instances of Gmail Backup

I've just successfully completed successful migration of a number of google apps accounts. In all about 36 hours of downloading and re-uploading. (It would be nice if Google enabled a domain rename facility, but that's by-the-by here).

After some testing, I was running the process on two PCs, but late on I realised it was ok to run multiple instances, and in particular running a restore at the same time as a backup made better use of broadband ADSL capacity.
