What is "Archive Attributes" in windows backup?

Or, How ‘Archive Attributes’ helps in windows level folders/files backup

Archive Attributes: This is a technology which helps backups to be performed in the way we required. Archive attributes set an identity on file/folder or data as which file/folder or data have been backed up in last recent backup performed and which has not been backed up yet...

Archive Attributes Status (Before Backup): All files and folder will be having "Check Mark Enabled" on "Folder is ready for archiving" option.

If the check mark is there, means this folder/file has not been backed up yet.  You can refer the below screenshot for reference or you can verify it on your computer's data by going to that folder's Properties > General Tab > Advance Option

















Archive Attributes Status (After Backup): All files and folders will be having "Check Mark Cleared" on "Folder is ready for archiving option".

Export all groups with members list - GSuite

Or, How to export all GSuite groups with members list using GAM tool?
Or, Using GAM tool to export GSuite groups list with members
Or, Export GSuite groups with all members including all other details
Or, Export members, managers, created date, owners, name etc… of all groups in GSuite using GAM tool

Descriptions: GSuite is not having any feasibility on web GUI to export groups list in to a CSV file along with members, however, you can export groups one by one with members list from group’s properties advanced settings. This becomes really tedious when you have a large list of groups though.

To achieve this, you may think of trying GAM tool available at GitHub.

If you already have GAM tool installed on your machines, you may try the command given below to export all groups in a CSV file with the name and email addresses.

Steps: Exporting groups with members list into a CSV file

Open CMD and Locate to the directory where GAM tool is installed










Type the command given below and hit enter
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
gam print groups name description admincreated id aliases members owners managers settings > D:\temp\groups.csv
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------





You can change the destination directory to your own convenient path. In my case its D:\temp
