Not really imo…they are an automated, set-it-and-forget-it backup service. Not quite the same thing for me to have to remember to go in occasionally and download a full copy of my data versus having a service do it for me once or multiple times a day. Especially for businesses who want to manage multiple accounts and have a centralized backup system.

Plus the critical thing here: Backupify has restore. Who wants backup without restore?

You don't need to restore with Gmail.

One "restore" preference people have is account migration. Take all your email from one gmail account and import it into another.
Plus your response makes my mind boggle. People consider their gmail way too solid. There's lots of posts online of people who have lost their accounts completely.
