Description:
gwbackupy 0.11.0
gwbackupy: Google Workspace™ backup and restore solution.
What is it?
Gwbackupy is an open source Google Workspace™ backup and restore solution, written in
python.
Currently supported Gmail messages and labels only.
Why?
Due to gmvault limitations:
is still abandoned (??)
authentication method is not usable in Google Workspace wide
designed only for gmail messages
only supports IMAP protocol (slow and less security)
Details
Run from CLI or run directly from python code
Authentication
OAUTH for free or paid plans (not recommended for paid plans)
Service account file (JSON or P12) for paid plans (can be configured to access all accounts in workspace.)
Version controlled storage interface
Allows to restore specific moments without using an external snapshot system (eg. zips, file system with snapshot).
Not limited to file storage and is not limited to the use of a database server.
Currently, file system based storage is only available.
Dry mode (not write to local storage and not modify on server)
API communication (no need for special IMAP and other settings): secure and fast
Gmail backup
full backup (download all messages, labels)
full backup continuously (periodically rerunning)
Scanning the full mailbox, but download only the new messages and mark the deleted messages.
Quick backup (sync the last N days)
Gmail restore
restore deleted message in specified interval
full restore messages and labels to an empty mailbox (e.g. to other gmail account)
Paid plans are the following: here. Google One or additional
storages are not considered as paid plans
Requirements
python3 and pip
Google Cloud account and own created access files.
This software does not contain access files, this is for security reasons.
A credit card is required during registration, but the use of Workspace APIs is free.
