4 Easy Ways To Back Up Your Microsoft Outlook Data

HI friends,

Recently i founnd this from one website...

1.Manually copy your Outlook file

o The default location for XP is C:/Documents and Settings/%username%/Local Settings/Application Data/Microsoft/Outlook/
o The default location for Vista is C:/Users/%username%/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Outlook/
Outlook stores all mail information in a single file with an extension ‘.pst’. A ‘personal storage table’ file stores all account data like mails, contacts, journal, notes and calendar entries.
The PST file can also be accessed by following File – Data File Management – Select the Data File tab. Select your personal folder(s) and click on Open Folder…
After locating the file backing it up to any secure space like a different drive, a CD-ROM or a USB Drive is a simple process of copy-paste.
To restore the data, go to File – Open – Outlook Data File – Browse to the backup location and select the file. In case of an error, right-click and deselect the Read only attribute in the PST file’s Properties tab.

2.Relocate your Outlook file
In the same way we keep our other precious files from harm’s way by saving it in a different partition, we can also change the default location of the Outlook PST file. Here’s a walkthrough…

1.Close Outlook
2.Locate the PST file through the default path as mentioned before.
3.Copy it to another partition.
(As a precaution rename the PST file in the old location. For instance, change Outlook.pst to Outlook.old. In case something fails, you can return to the old file.)
4.Restart Outlook – when the prompt comes up use the browse button to direct Outlook to the new location.
5.Update any Wizard rules you might have customized with the new path.

3.Import and Export helps out

It is a 5-Step process which exports your mail folders to any designated location. Import and Export in Outlook 2007 allows you to export the entire Personal folder or selected folders to another location (or partition).
0. Click on File – Import and Export…

1.Choose Export to a file

2.Choose Personal Folder File (.pst)

3.Select the folder to export from – e.g. Personal Folder. Check Include Subfolders if you want to include all subfolders (like contacts) within the Personal Folder. You can set up a selective backup through a Filter to export specific messages.

4.Choose a safe location to store the exported file. A press of the Finish button ends the job.

To restore the data, similarly follow the wizard starting with File – Import and Export…- Import from another program or file - Personal Folder File (.pst) – browse to backup location and click finish.
Note: The Import and Export way is not sacrosanct because it does not backup user set settings (i.e. the folder design properties) like view options, forms, permissions, rules and alerts or auto-archive settings.

4.The Personal Folders Backup Add-In to the rescue
The earlier steps might send the work-shy among us into a slumber. The help of a Microsoft Outlook Add-in - ‘Personal Folders Backup’ saves us a few mouse clicks. It simply creates backup copies of the PST files at regular intervals to a designated location.
With the 159KB download installed, browse to File – Backup. The Options setting in the tool lets you select the frequency of backups, the files to backup and the location to backup to.

The Personal Folders Backup Add-In is supported by Outlook 2007, 2003 and 2002.

Ur Outlook data backup is ready...

How to Speed Up Folder Access

In this page, I'll show you how to speed up folder access on your computer. Why you need to speed up folder access? In my opinion, you need to do that if you have a lot of folders and sub directories on your computer. Because when you access a directory, your windows system will wastes a lot of time updating the stamp showing the last access time for that directory. So you need to disable access update to stop your computer from doing this. Follow these steps to speed up folder access by disable access update on your computer.

1. Click on RUN, type Regedit in the open box and then click "OK".
2. Find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > System > CurrentControlSet > Control > FileSystem
3. Create new DWORD Value called NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate by right-click in a blank area of the window on the right and then select DWORD Value.
4. Double click on "NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate", change the value data to 1 and then click OK.

That's all

How to Auto DELETE temporary folder

For Beginers
what we used to prefer is, type "%temp% " {without quotes} in Start -> Run.This opens your temporary folder and then you can erase it easily, but still try dis one
too..

For Advance User
First go into gpedit.msc, Next select -> Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Terminal
Services/Temporary Folder, Then right click "Do Not Delete Temp Folder Upon Exit.
"Go to properties and hit disable. Now next time Windows puts a temp file in that folder it
will automatically delete it when its done!

Thats all.... All Temporary Files are Deleted...
