Please make sure you have the latest version of FBackup 4.6 shell_shephard on "Can't perform online outlook backup" http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/cant-perform-online-outlook-backup#post-2671 Wed, 25 May 2011 20:40:53 +0000 shell_shephard 2671@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ OK. These posts are old. What's the status with backing up open Outlook 2003 with Windows 7? I thought, per the help screens, that I could set up a program to run before the backup and then reopen Outlook when it's done, but those options don't seem to be available either (and should be taken out of the help file?).

I have tried following your directions to create a backup, and found the path c:/documents and settings/local user/local settings/application data/microsoft/outlook, but there are no .pst file extensions on any of the files, and the other files listed in your directions are nowhere to be found. I have set the "show hidden files" flag and still cannot find them. There are two Outlook files in the folder, one each for my POP and IMAP accounts, but they have no file extension, either. If I back each of these up am I covering all the necessary files?

As I started to look at the plug-ins, I saw one that said "Outlook express." Since I use Outlook, I deleted it. About an hour later after trying to figure out how to get the plug-in for Outlook my impression is that it is included in the software so the only thing I could think of is the plug-in that indicated it was for Outlook express was really for a variety of Outlook products. Since it is not included in the plug-in categories, I can't figure out how to download it. Could somebody please help me on this?

As you already figured out, the settings for Outlook and Windows Live Mail are different. I'm glad that you found the setting for Windows Live Mail. arcarter on "Backup Outlook emails and settings" http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/backup-outlook-emails-and-settings#post-262 Wed, 20 May 2009 15:45:13 +0000 arcarter 262@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ Seeing as I had no reply I went looking to see if there are differences. Low and behold I found that "Windows Live Mail" does not use the same directories as Outlook Express does.

It works: - only on Windows XP, Windows 2003 Server or Windows Vista - only for users with administrator access rights to copy open files - only on local hard drives - only on NTFS formatted partitions - only if the VSS (Volume Shadow Service) is running and it is properly configured If all the above conditions are met, please send us the log file for the last backup job finished with errors at: info at fbackup dot com. The last backup log file can be found if you go to View->Job Logs->Last Backup Log. bowmore21 on "Can't perform online outlook backup" http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/cant-perform-online-outlook-backup#post-62 Thu, 15 Jan 2009 10:29:48 +0000 bowmore21 62@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ Hi. When trying to make a backup of my .PST-file when outlook is running It errors out with either an empty backup zip-file (full) or with "access error - the file is in use by another program" (mirror). If I close outlook, the backup runs like a charm. I'm using Windows Vista Bussiness, PST-file on local NTFS-formatted harddrive and as far as I can se, the VSS is running on my machine. regards / Mikael (Sweden) Admin on "Backup Outlook emails and settings" http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/backup-outlook-emails-and-settings#post-6 Thu, 30 Oct 2008 11:27:51 +0000 Admin 6@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ Summary This article explains how to backup Outlook emails and settings. This backup article refers to Microsoft Outlook, not Outlook Express. On this page: How to configure a backup for Outlook in FBackup How to find the locations of MS Outlook files Backup limitations for locked or open files Details MS Outlook emails are stored in .pst files. In order to have a complete backup of MS Outlook data, it is not enough to back up only the .pst files, but the following items too: <ul> <li>MS Outlook shortcuts</li> <li>Personal Address Book</li> <li>Rules</li> <li>Signatures</li> <li>Stationery</li> <li>Menu or toolbar customizations</li> <li>Nicknames</li> </ul> Also, for MS Outlook 2003 and 2007, you need to backup some additional items: <ul> <li>Navigation Pane settings (this file includes Shortcuts, Calendar, and Contact links).</li> <li>Dictionary</li> <li>Templates</li> <li>Send/Receive settings</li> <li>Print styles</li> <li>Custom forms</li> <li>Registered Microsoft Exchange extensions</li> </ul> How to configure a backup for Outlook in FBackup MS Outlook data is stored in “.pst” files. For each mail folder defined in MS Outlook a .pst file is assigned. These files get quite large if you exchange lot of emails, thus when a small change occurs in a file (e.g. a new email has been received), the entire .pst will be marked as “modified”. When running the backup, the whole file will be backed up as you cannot backup only the changes inside the .pst file. That's why it is recommended to do a full or mirror backup (and not differential or incremental). Also, it is recommended to limit the number of backups in order to save disk space. Steps needed to configure the backup: <ol> <li>Open FBackup and select File->New Backup (Ctrl+N). </li> <li>On the first page, enter a name for the backup in the Backup name field. </li> <li>Select a location where you want to save the backup. Press Next. </li> <li>Add the files and folders you want to back up. Press Next. </li> <li>In the How do you want to backup section, select Make full. </li> <li>Press Save, then select Save and run. </li> </ol> You can manually run the backup by pressing the Backup (F6) button. The backup job can be scheduled to run at a specific date and time.
