How Do I Backup My Email?
Regularly backing up your mail will ensure that you will never lose critical data should you have a hard drive fail. Regardless of the mail client you are using or backup method you choose, keep in mind that it would be in your best interest to store these backed up files on either a seperate external hard drive or burn them to a CD or DVD for off-site storage.Outlook 2000 / 2002 / 2003
Backing up your Microsoft Outlook information is quick and easy with Microsoft's Personal Folders Backup, a free add-on for Outlook 2000 and above.
