Why to back up your YouTube Channel?

There are numerous reasons why users may need to back up their YouTube videos and playlists. Those reasons include accidental deletions, malicious deletions, wrongful ToS account violation, unavailable videos and more. In this article, we will take a look at why you need to back up your YouTube videos and playlists, and we will show you exactly how to back up these files.

Account suspension or termination

Google is well-known for flagging accounts wrongfully for suspected ToS violations. Even if the account is restored at a later time, some users have had all of their data deleted from their Google account and they were unable to retrieve it. If you have your files backed up, you will not have to worry about the risk of losing videos due to a Google error.

Deleted and unavailable videos

Many users build up a playlist or multiple playlists with many videos in it, but many times the original uploader of the video will delete the video, and sometimes Google will delete the video. Sometimes Google even deletes the videos that you uploaded, and if you didn't keep a backup copy, the video could be gone for good. Other times videos may be made unavailable in specific locations and regions due to new licensing restrictions. Videos can disappear from YouTube at any time, so it's an excellent idea to back up all videos and playlists in order to prevent the loss of video and audio files.
