How to get Gmail Backup

To back up Gmail accounts before deactivating them, use Google’s Takeout service. Visit Google Takeout, sign in with the Gmail account you wish to back up and select “Deselect all” to choose only the specific data you need, such as emails. Click “Next step,” choose your preferred file format and delivery method, then click “Create export.” Google will prepare your data and send you a download link. Save this data securely before deactivating the accounts.
