How can I create a local backup of G Suite account?

I tried to backup my GAFE data using Google Takeout. But due to some unknown reasons, Takeout failed to create the archive. Why is this happening? Is there any other way to create local backup of my Google Apps account?

Hi, There can be many reasons behind the issue of "Google Takeout failed to create Archive". Some of those reasons are:  
  • Network connection problem
  • Interruption while Creating archive
  • Exceeding Size Limit
Please check the above conditions while using Google Takeout to create archive.

@Clark Kent Thanks for suggesting the conditions. But I am not looking forward to use Google Takeout anymore to create Archive. Is there any alternative solution to take the backup of G Suite account data?
Hi Samantha, You can manually create the backup of your Google Apps for Education mailbox data in Outlook PST file format using the below given steps.

Step 1: Install Outlook on your PC
Step 2: Configure Outlook with G Suite account
Step 3: Access the generated PST from C:\users\username\Documents\Outlook Files

Even though this method is effective, there exists several limitations like:
  • Lengthy process & Requires lot of time
  • Filters cannot be applied on the created backup
  • Requires technical knowledge

In order to create G Suite account backup without such limitations, you can go for SysTools Google Apps Backup tool.
