Backup my Gmail email to a TrueCrypt folder from the command-line
- /Applications/TrueCrypt.app/Contents/MacOS/TrueCrypt –mount /Users/steven/Documents/secure.smb /Volumes/secure
- enter password
- cd /Users/steven/bin/gmail-backup/
- ./gmail-backup.sh backup /Volumes/secure/gmail-backup sbougon@gmail.com gmailPassword
This will:
- mount my secure TrueCrypt file to a folder
- download all my gmail emails to this folder (my gmail is about 4Gig)
I don’t really do that for fear of Gmail ever going away, but more for the fear of someone else getting my Gmail password and changing it on me (happened to somebody I know)
Source of the gmail backup is here: http://www.gmail-backup.com
Offline: gmail-backup.zip
