Peace of Mind for Gmail Users

I recently made the switch over to Gmail, and I love using it as an email tool.

There have been a number of stories where people have lost some or all of their email, with little or no recourse.

Imagine my relief when I discovered Gmail Backup. This program is a free download, which backs up your Gmail to your computer or an attached hard drive. Just specify the folder and the dates you want to backup, click Backup, and sit back. It took about 15 minutes to back up my (admittedly small) 85MB Gmail file. If you're using Gmail, you need a tool like this to make sure your email is properly backed up.
