How To Backup Google Calendar and Restore It
Losing calendar data, whether from accidental deletions, sync issues, or metadata loss, can disrupt your day-to-day operations. Relying on Google’s default recovery options leaves your data vulnerable and recovery limited.
BackupVault’s Google Workspace backup ensures your Google Calendar is fully protected, easily restorable, and always secure. Trust our service to keep your calendar data safe and recoverable when you need it most.
How to Back Up Google Calendar Events (Step-By-Step)
Manually exporting your Google Calendar events is a simple process, but it comes with limitations. Here’s how to do it:
- Open Google Calendar: Go to Google Calendar and sign in.
- Click the Gear Icon: In the top-right corner, click on the gear icon and select Settings.
- Select Import & Export: From the menu on the left, choose Import & Export.
- Click Export: Under the Export section, click Export to download your calendar data. The file will be in an .ics format.
- Save the File: The .ics file will contain all your calendar events. Save it to your preferred location.
Limitations:
- This method doesn’t back up your metadata (like event notes, attachments, or reminders).
- It only exports events as they are, without any versioning or easy recovery options.
While this method works for a one-time backup, it doesn’t provide the reliability or flexibility of a full backup solution.
Consider BackupVault’s Google Workspace backup for continuous, automated protection.
