wondering if Gmail did a back up mail in case of hardware failure.
If you do use Google Apps to host email for your company, they do provide a
backup service for those that still see the need to delete stuff.
Ok, so the for pay includes backup. That's pretty fair.
And since Gmail uses standard IMAP and POP protocols, you can easily back
everything up if you really want to. I use a service call Backupify which
backs up my personal Gmail to their cloud service, and also a program called
MailStore which backs up both my personal and Gapps accounts to my home NAS,
which is then mirrored to my Amazon S3 account.

Always a wise idea. :)
