Google Calendar, since its initial release in April of 2006, has become the web standard for scheduling and being reminded about impending events. Your spouse’s, family, friends’, and colleagues’ birthdays, anniversaries and other important milestones will never be forgotten. Yes, with the help of Google Calendar, you can be the person that remembers.
Multiple calendars can be added and shared, allowing various levels of permissions for users, which enables collaboration and sharing of schedules amongst groups. Only Google knows the precise number of Google Calendar users, but the number must be staggering. Each of these millions of users simply assumes that Google Calendar will always be up, online and available.
But, let’s imagine for a moment that Google Calendar is not available or its data was lost or deleted. As a result, you forgot to say Happy Birthday to your close friend. A close friend will understand but what if you failed to send an urgent payment notice to an important customer? Well, that conversation may not turn out so well and if it ever does happen, chances are it will be with one of your best customers. You need some ‘data-loss insurance’, meaning you’d best make regular backups of Google Calendar.

- Each calendar must be exported separately.
- You can’t configure automatic export for more than one time per month. That’s not good.
- The calendar is stored on your local computer and as a result, you’ll need to think about how to protect it against possible theft, prevent data loss or computer drive failure or damage.
