Hi there, Jules! Thanks for such a precise guide. Very handy indeed. Methinks (though a tad too late) that backup is really important — that is, since I lost almost all of my files and data when my laptop was infested with a virus and it crashed. I’m keeping my fingers crossed, though, that I’ll be able to pull this off with my Outlook. :)

This is a handy add-on for home users or single user.

Corporates mostly rely on centralized Outlook backup solutions considering that it involves proprietary info as well as to ensure minimum downtime.

We use http://www.datamills.com EdgeSafe tool, as we used the pfbackup and it had several critical weaknesses for our corporate environment.

It can not work while Outlook is in use, hence people will close it as they are required to wait 5-10 minutes before they can go home. It does a full copy over and over.. No way to know which user is not backing up.. Another solution
