Manual Zoho Mail Backup Limitations

Zoho Mail provides basic tools for exporting your email data, but these built-in options come with several limitations. These limitations can impact not only the thoroughness of your zoho email backup but also the ease and reliability with which your email data is protected.

Manual Process

Manual attempts to backup Zoho Mail involve initiating the process each time, which can easily lead to forgetting and missing important data.

Limited Customization

The export feature provides minimal options for selecting specific folders or data types, limiting the flexibility of your backups.

No Continuous Protection

Since the export is a one-time process, any new emails received after the export are not included in the backup until the next manual export.

Handy Backup automates your Zoho Mail backups, ensuring your emails are securely stored and always up to date. With continuous protection and easy recovery, it safeguards your important email data against loss, providing you peace of mind.
