What are the reasons for backup Outlook and Exchange folders?

Regular backups of your email, contacts, calendars, and other mailbox data is required for different reasons:

1. It provides the reliability and accessibility of information in case of various failures. Such failures may be very different in nature, for example:
• damage due to software errors and network outages,
• hard drive and other storage system failures.
2. You should always remember that PST files are unreliable, often fail, and become broken.
3. Even cloud and server-side technologies do not prevent you from accidentally deleting Outlook folders and items, which are difficult or impossible to restore.

Why use the utility

Unlike other solutions, our freeware utility uses a simple and reliable MSG format to store backups of your important data. MSG is native and the most complete format for storing Outlook messages, contacts, appointments and meetings, tasks, notes, journal entries, documents and other items.

Key benefits of the utility:

• The utility creates the original folder structure on your disk drive or network share.
• Saved MSG files contain additional data for easy browsing and searching, using a standard and familiar environment, such as Windows Explorer.
• In general, the backup looks almost like your Outlook mailbox.
• This backup copy is much more reliable than any alternative methods using a single data file. In case of damage to some of the files, the rest will remain available.
• One of the important advantages of our add-in is the ability to archive your data incrementally. Simply specify the location of the CSV backup report file, and the tool will utilize this file to copy only new and modified items next time. This will prevent the need to make a full backup copy every time, because full backup takes a lot of time and computer resources.
