IT is highly recommended that you backup your email at least once a week.
The E&H IT Department performs a daily backup on all systems, including email.
However, this system should not be relied upon 100%. Follow the
instructions below to perform your weekly email backup from Outlook.
Backing up Email from Outlook
- Open the Outlook email program by double-clicking on the Outlook icon
- Select File from the menu bar at the top of the Outlook screen
- Select Import and Export from the drop-down menu
- Select Export to file from the action menu and click on Next
- Next choose Personal Folder File (.pst) from the file type
menu and click Next
- Then click on Mailbox - (your name will be here) and make sure it is highlighted. Make sure there is a check mark in the box labeled Include subfolders. Click on Next
- Finally, enter a location for the file to be saved, preferably not on the
local hard drive. Click Finish
In the event you ever need to restore your email from a backup, just follow
these same instructions except choose Import from another program or file in step 4.
