Where is the backup utility for Outlook 2010?
Just curious, where is the backup command or download for it?
And, why isn't this feature included in Outlook for the last DECADE? It seems to me that it's the single most important feature to have. Anyone? jf |

You can export any item in Outlook and you can save a copy of the .pst file at any time you want. Some operating systems have backup facilities built into them so you would need to look at your backup method. System backup is important but that would be the responsibility of the owner of the computer, not Microsoft, Dell or Gateway... System backup can be and often is a personal thing where one person likes this brand of software and another person hates the software. Personally, I'm now using Windows Home Server to backup my 5 computers (3 laptops and 2 desktops) on my home network and so far like it a lot. It conducts daily incremental backups and weekly full backups of the computers along with an off-site backup every week. |

Because the primary use, and where the vast majority of Outlook instances are, is in corporate installations where Exchange Server is used and backups are made daily of the Exchange Server mailboxes. The usage of Outlook by private individuals using non Exchange email accounts has certainly up until recently been quite small in comparison... |

For Outlook 2010 the utility hasn't been released/updated yet but I suspect the old utility (link below) might work but I haven't tried it yet as my current system hasn't got Office 2010: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=8B081F3A-B7D0-4B16-B8AF-5A6322F4FD01&displaylang=en The old utility was for Outlook 2007/2003/2002 and I suspect 2010 needs to be added at the front. hth jimmy fallon wrote: Just curious, where is the backup command or download for it?

It installs OK and then shows properly in the add-in section of the ribbon; however, the backup does not initiate as specified (date and time). I tried to get it to work for a long time. I've setup a workaround using a batch file-- "copy C:\users\katherine\appdata\local\microsoft\outlook \outlook.pst G: \MSObackup /D /Y" It copies the outlook.pst file to a special folder on another partition. The batch file has been setup to run every morning at 10:00am (whether computer is in sleep mode ot not) using the Win 7 Task Scheduler. End result is identical to the old Outlook Backup utility.

If this feature is not available I will not install Outlook 2010 at this time. Yes I know where the PST file is located and could back up manually but why should I have too!!! |

You don't have to. You're doing a regular backup of all your data anyhow,
aren't you? Doesn't that include your Outlook data? -- -Ben- Ben M.

Windows 7: Click Start, Type "Backup", press enter. Click "Back up Now".
Vista: Click Start, Type "Backup", press enter. Click "Back up Files". Windows XP: Start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Backup | Next, Next, Next, Next....tell it to back up All information, specify your backup location, Next, Next, Finish.... Of course, this is all irrelevant because you're already a regularly scheduled full backup of your data anyhow, aren't you? You're welcome. -- -Ben- Ben M.
