Gmail is currently one of the best email services, and in order to ensure the security of user data, Google has officially provided a corresponding backup service - Google Takeout. With its help, you can export copies of data from your Google account to back up important content. 

You can follow the following simple steps to export your Gmail data:

Step 1. Open Google Browser and log in to your Google account.

Step 2. Navigate to Google Takeout's home page.

Step 3. Create a new export by checking Gmail, and hit the Next step button.

Step 4. Then you should choose file type> frequency> destination and hit the Create export option.

Now Google will create a copy of your Gmail. When the process ends, you will receive an email.

Although using this method can help you back up your Gmail files, the backup process can take a long time, and you will have to wait several hours or days to receive the mail. If you need to back up your email right now urgently, it's clear that Google Takeout won't be a good choice. At this point, you can turn your attention to a professional backup software - EaseUS Todo Backup Home.
