As important as it is to backup the files and directories on your computer it is just as important to backup Outlook Express. The program I use, Outlook Express Backup Wizard, will back up your email, news messages, folder structure, attachments, identities, address book, signatures, and much more. There’s an easy to use interface and the ability to password protect your backups. You can also restore your backups if the need should arise.

In this tutorial I’ll show you how.

Here you choose whether to perform a backup or a restore of your Outlook Express.

You can backup multiple identities simultaneously or if you prefer create a backup for each identity. At this step you also need to pick the items you wish to preserve.

Enter any filename you wish here or use the default filename the wizard composes from the current date. You can protect your backup file with a password.

I highly suggest that you save your backup file to a CD or a removable drive. Do not just save the file on your desktop for example, a system crash will render that useless.
