Gmail backup to Dropbox
Download python source of <a href="http://code.google.com/p/got-your-back/">got-your-back</a> and extract contents somewhere. I store in the following location:
~/Dropbox/Backup/Personal/Gmail/gyb/
Create the following command file and save it somewhere.
backup-gmail.command
cd ~/Dropbox/Backup/Personal/Gmail/gyb/
python gyb.py --email austinginder@gmail.com --backup --folder ~/Dropbox/Backup/Personal/Gmail/austinginder
Use crontab to schedule the command file to run on a daily basis. I'm using CronniX on OSX. Here is the script I'm running
sh ~/Dropbox/Backup/_jobs/backup-gmail.command > ~/Dropbox/Backup/_jobs/backup-gmail.txt

Thanks for the tip.
A few months ago I switched to online service call CloudHQ, https://www.cloudhq.net. I am no longer running the backup script. In addition backing up Gmail, it's also backing up my Evernote and Google Drive to Dropbox.
