Handy Backup provides a powerful Outlook backup feature, which is able to automatically backup Outlook emails and other data (including any single PST file, Outlook contacts and event lists). Restore Outlook backup is as simple and automated procedure as taking a backup Outlook copy.

Key Features of Outlook Backup

As the perfect Outlook backup program, Handy Backup gives its users the following list of principal features:

Full Outlook Compatibility

Handy Backup can backup Outlook 2016, 2013, 2010 and earlier versions, along with MS Exchange backup and saving email backup directly from clients or servers. It can automatically backup emails in Outlook 2016 and other versions via the dedicated “Outlook” plug-in.

Quick and Hot Outlook Backup

Using the Volume Shadow Copying service (VSS), Handy Backup can backup Outlook data without stopping the Outlook program itself. In addition, Handy Backup is very undemanding to resources, so it does not drop overall speed of job when running.

Fast Outlook Restoration

The restoration procedure for Outlook data is as simple as the backup process, using the same interface and methods described. Just create a restoration task, select the copy needed to restore and run the task to replace your Outlook data, or backup Outlook to PST files containing emails in native format.

Outlook Backup Emails Security

With Handy Backup, you can utilize many security functions, including using protected storage protocols (such as S3 or SFTP) for data transfer, forcing Outlook backup all emails to removable USB media, saving Outlook backup profile with built-in encryption, or auto-running external security programs.

Migrating from Outlook to Other Services and Clients

You can use the “MS Outlook” plug-in not only to backup Outlook but also to restore or migrate its data , such as for backup emails in Outlook 2013 and then restore it to some other machine with Outlook 2016 pre-installed, or even move its content (in EML message formats) to some email services.

Any edition of Handy Backup can automatically backup Outlook data. No additional installations or investments are required to use this feature at full scale.

Wide Choice of Storages for Outlook Backup

Wide choice of storage media. Store Outlook backup emails on local and remote hard disks, USB external and flash drives, commercial clouds, NASes or FTP servers. Advanced editions of Handy Backup will give you even more variants of backup storages.
Additional backup capabilities. Handy Backup saves any data you need to save, not only emails. Add all your data that you need to save in a single joint task and schedule backup. You can also encrypt or pack data when performing such tasks as Outlook 2016 automatic backup.

Saving emails from webmail service called Outlook.com is a completely different task from local MS Outlook email backup. It is a common web service backup, which you can do by using the “E-mail” plug-in (located in the same “E-mail” group as the “Outlook” plug-in).

How to Make Outlook IMAP Backup

It is simple. Make a new task as for a local client, but select the E-mail plug-in on Step 2. Create a new connection and provide appropriate data for opening your Outlook.com email account:

Server: outlook.office365.com
User and Password: your login and password for Outlook.com e-mail.

Do not touch other parameters. Give a name for this connection. After successful testing it, you can use this connection for Outlook backup emails, as well as for email recovery to this account.
