Backing up with Microsoft Outlook, Castrophe Protection made simple

. filocity backs up Outlook without Outlook

Microsoft Outlook is a business staple. Using and checking our Oulook Inbox has become as common as brushing our teeth for most of us. We know as soon as we are in front of the computer our emails are there waiting. What happens if one day you can't open Outlook or your emails and contacts are not there, are you prepared? The reality is that most of us do not backup regularly and are not ready for a catastrophe. Most backup programs also fragment your backups into slices and re-installing from a backup is near impossible. How many of you have tested your backup? What none!!!

With more and more users looking for an effective Outlook backup solution, there appears to be more and more software coming on the market claiming to deliver the maximum quality feature set for doing backup of MS Outlook. Though diversity is a good thing, the user may just as easily be mislead or misguided. In an attempt to make you understand some of the differences i have found in researching the space that it appears very immature compared to the amount of Outlook users.

Before you start researching the software space, you need to figure out what you are looking for. All backup software can be roughly divided into two categories: home user backup software and professional user backup software. While both can backup MS Outlook, you need to choose the one which suits your personal requirements. Both in features, hardware that you use and MS versions.

So, if you are a home user and need to back your Outlook messages at home, you will be quite pleased with the basic feature set which includes Outlook backup functionality. Professional software is more expensive and has a more extended backup and restore feature set. It may have some functions that you probably don't need. So why would you bother to pay for them.

So what do you need as a home user? The software should have a special preset for doing backup of MS Outlook. This allows you to back up all your Outlook data with just a few clicks. Then, you would probably want to back up Outlook data on a regular basis, but you don't want to start Outlook copying manually, so make sure the backup software has a backup scheduler which allows setting up a schedule for Outlook backup execution. These are even fewer and harder to find. I cant say i have seen a good one.

However, if you need to backup MS Outlook data in an office, you may require professional backup software for this purpose. For best results, the software needs to have the same basic Outlook backup functions such as Outlook backup preset, backup schedule plus some additional professional functionalities such as Outlook compression and encryption, recording Outlook data to remote FTP/SFTP servers, running backups as Windows service mode, backup of Outlook address book, contacts and settings.

What do i do to restore. Here is where you start having problems. Have you upgraded your system recently? Does your backup version match your software version. If you ahve an older computer and catastrophe strikes, most likely you ran out and purchased a new computer that has more current software. Will your backup even work?? I once crashed a computer being confident that a popular backup program that ran in the background, backed up my information online all the time. When re-installing i found that the cloud based program only downloaded 1.7gb at a time. Problem is my Outlook file was over 2gb. Disaster. A little planning here can go a long way. If you want to backup today, i would suggest a program that backs up in real time live to the cloud. A program where when disaster strikes you can log on from any program, anywere in the world and start working with your saved Outlook emails & attachments instantly. I've been there so many times, I invented the solution. http://www.filocity.com
