Central backup for google apps standard

Question

Do you know how to do a full backup of ALL users emails when using Google Apps Standard?

What about docs, calendars etc.?

Is it by any chance possibiity to automate it?

Answer 1

In order to do this you need to be able to use the Google Apps API (then you can write a script or something), which you don't get access to under Stardard.

So, not unless you open your chequebook.

Answer 2

You can enable imap and sync it either with another imap server or with maildir files.

Some tools: offlineimap mailsync imapsync isync . I've used offlineimap for imap<->maildir<->imap syncs.
