I want to create scheduled backups of my Thunderbird mail, files and contacts on an external disk drive. Is this necessary or is this data kept somewhere online in case I need it? If it is necessary, how do I access this data?

Thankyou for replying, Matt, but I am asking about the actual E- Mail, Contacts and folders. How can I access this data for backup on my site?
