How does this work? Is it just backing up your Google drive or also things like docs and email?

You can use Google Takeout to receive a zip in an email of all your data, including drive, email, and seemingly everything else. You can even schedule it to send a new backup once every 2 months for a year, then just remember to renew the schedule every year. I have my Gmail mirror to a local mail server which sort of becomes my "backup".

I saw that you could schedule takeouts every two months. Is there a practical way to use that for restoration?
