How does the software save the data in the output files for multiple accounts?

It also creates multiple output files to backup numerous accounts. The name of the output files will be the same as that of the selected accounts.

I have created multiple folders in the mailbox to save some emails separately. Will the software access such folders?

At the filter page, there is an option to ‘exclude empty folders’. So, it will stop the empty folders from migration.

I am not able to backup Contacts and Calendar/Appointments using the tool. How can I fix the issue?

The Google Workspace backup tool can backup Contacts and Calendar/Appointments only if the API is enabled. To enable API,

Go to go to - https://console.developers.google.com.
Go to your domain and ensure the new/existing project has the required API enabled.

While using the software, an error occurred before the filter page. It showed that “Google.Apis.Requests.Request Error User-rate limit exceeded.” Is there a method to remove such errors?

Actually, you are required to increase the limit of the APIs related to the apps in the G Suite accounts. You need to submit a request to increase the quota for related API.

Log in to the Google cloud platform using the URL – https://console.cloud.google.com
In the IAM and admin category, click on Quotas.
Choose the API whose limit you want to increase. Then, choose the Edit Quotas option.
Input a new limit and click the Submit Request option.

Similarly, you can change the quota limit of other APIs too.

You ask for P12 key while backup, but JSON key during restore process. What is the difference between these two keys?

P12 keys come with a certificate in the form of a PKCS#12 bundle, whereas JSON keys can obtain the certificate from Google's SDK website. This is the primary distinction between P12 and JSON keys. A JSON Web Token (JWT) is signed with the certificate and sent to Google's OAuth 2.0 servers to request an access token. After that, API requests are authorized using the access token.
