 Top 

The backup you are setting up for Outlook contains the following elements:

•All e-mail folders (inbox/outbox/sent/drafts, etc...)
•Contacts
•Appointments
•Tasks
•Notes
•Journal entries
•all folders you have created yourself containing elements of the folders specified above.

Note for network administrators: If you are running Outlook in Intranet or work group mode, please note: 7-Backup only backs up the current user's PAB (Personal Address Book) if it is located in the same folder as the Outlook.pst file. Otherwise, please insert this file manually in the backup task. 7-Backup does not automatically use Outlook Backup to back up the global address book nor an exchange server's data either should you avail yourself of the Outlook server functionality. You can insert the Exchange files manually in the backup task.

•Outlook bar
