There's much more to
email backups than simply backing up email, see our guides for other parts such
as contacts and user accounts
Outlook express help backing up
It only takes a short while to amass a large amount of emails, many of us have
emails from years back. Emails from family, friends or business all have one
thing in common, usually once they are lost, they really are lost, this is where
a good email backup comes in. Backing up emails can be easy and once its in
place only takes a few minutes.
Backing up email
with Outlook
Email user account backup
How to make a backup of your email accounts , once this is done a backup of your
account will store the username , plus server details , if you ever have to
setup your email accounts again, this has never been so easy.
Backup
email addresses / contacts
Lastly we have contacts how many do you have in your list ? , I consider myself
to be an average user and over the course of 2 years I have around 300, and of
those maybe 60-70 that I user frequently.
If I lost all of these , the thought of having to contact each person via phone
to get an email address is not something I’d have the time to do, so if your
like me , make a backup of your email addresses it’s very quick and easy.
As you can see there is a fair list of outlook express help topics that apply to
most people, there are even more topics than this such as using stationery or
rules, which I’ll include at a later stage.
All of the topics included are what you could call critical tasks , you really
have to just look at each one and conclude if you could live with losing your
emails , addresses etc .
One other thing to note , if you are going to backup any data , please make sure
you store any data that has been backed up, onto a different backup drive or
medium . Otherwise having a backup on the same drive will just be taking up
space.
So if ever the hard drive fails you’ll still lose everything.
If you’d like more info on backup devices etc ,
checkout our
backup pages where we cover all aspects of backing up from using Windows
backup to advising on various backup storage mediums.
