Any backup recommendations? Gmvault stopped working earlier this year, and for multi-gigabyte accounts via a connection that is prone to get interrupted every once in a while, I couldn't find anything that seemed as simple and robust (Gmvault allowed incremental backups, tolerated disconnections, ...).

Google Takeout.

I used to use offlineimap and as far as I know it should still work...

You scared me for a second until I checked my gmvault logs.

FYI, it still works.

It's true that I had to create my own google console project[1] to have my own tokens some months ago, but I think that's a very good move in any case.

With all that GDPR stuff we have now shouldn't they actually be forced to let you download all your data in a simple way? I don't use GM for anything relevant but I'd totally abuse the "get my data" thing to backup stuff.
