Backing Up Outlook a Breeze With OutlookBackupPro

For whatever reason, backing up any e-mail client seems to be an arduous chore, and one that can end up in disaster if a simple step is missed. I suffered a bad experience with Outlook a few years back and learned my lesson quick. My current client, Mozilla Thunderbird, is far easier to back up, but is still prone to problems. Why these clients don’t offer robust backup options, I have no idea.

Download Squad have posted about a program that takes all of the hassle out of backing up Outlook, my making it a one-click affair (well, almost). Though the full version retails for $40, chances are good it is a worthy investment if you need a safe and secure way to back up all of your e-mails and contacts list.

The application does a bit more than simply backup, though. You also have the ability to set scheduled backups and can even automatically upload your backups to a remote server for safe-keeping, via FTP. So, if your NAS supports FTP, it could even be uploaded there. Sounds like a nifty, but incredibly useful application.

OutlookBackupPro will backup everything associated with your email account, including signature files, customized stationary, templates, OutNote notes, and all registry entries and system settings associated with Outlook. It will also backup your Outlook PST files. For those among us that can’t even remember our wedding anniversary, the program also offers set-and-forget automated backups.
