Backup a group and restore into a user account

[Jay Rausch]

Hi Team,

Love the tool and use it extensively to backup user accounts and archive their emails for searching in a group context, but now I would like to do the opposite

Take a backup of a google group, and restore it into a user account

Constructing the command as usual I have 

gyb --email <email-of-group> --use-admin <my-admin-account> --action backup however this backs up my-admin-account instead of the group

Is this workflow I described possible?

Thanks!

No. Google doesn't offer an API to backup groups thus there's nothing GYB can do to backup groups.

You can try using Google Takeout or Vault to export group messages though.
