The Web System: Gmail Backup

The GMail module allows independent access to a GMail backup. It supports additional features such as browsing the backup, opening emails & downloading the attachments. This allows the Backup service to access emails even when the Google Mail server is down or unavailable.

• Open any message and read its contents.
• Download its attachments.
• Create a backed up copy of attached images in Younicycle Files.
• Create a backed up copy of attached documents in Younicycle Files.
• Delete specific emails from your list of backed up emails.
• Search for emails on the GMail server, filtering by all fields.
• Secret word security.
• Received email notifications (when a new Email arrives at GMail)
• A Scheduler
• Restore (when restore takes place, the user sees the name of the folder Backup+ in the Gmail account)

When accessing Google services for the first time, authorization is required. Google will ask you to grant access for its services.


Google Backup is controlled by the Google Apps Backup Widget, which is located on your Account's Home page and visible after logging in.


To configure the backup settings press the Settings button (shaped like a Gear), which allows you to set the schedule and select the folders you want to backup.




By pressing the Start button on the settings dialog, the schedule will be activated and the backup process will be started according to your specified schedule.

To start immediate backup - press the play button. To interrupt the backup process -  press the stop button.
The green progress bar means that the process is working properly, yellow means there are one or more errors occuring during the backup process. Click on the progress bar to view the Schedule log.


To view the list of Saved messages, click on the Gmail icon on the Widget or select from the top menu, Tools->Gmail Backup menu. The list enables you to preview and/or restore selected messages or a specific message.
