Guide Review - Backup E-mail 1.7 - Email Backup Tool
What usually takes hours if not days is accomplished in a minute or so if you use Backup E-mail. Using either a wizard mode or an equally easy to master tabbed interface, Backup E-mail backs up the messages, contacts, filters, signatures, blocked senders and settings of the most widely used email programs (Backup E-mail currently supports Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, IncrediMail, Pegasus Mail, PocoMail, The Bat!, Netscape and Opera).
Restoring the data either on a new computer or after an emergency destroyed the original copies is just as easy. You cannot browse the backup data and restore only certain messages, though. For perfect protection, Backup E-mail allows you to set up scheduled backups in an intelligent manner, and the backup copies are not only compressed, they can also be password-protected by Backup E-mail.
Since Backup E-mail uses a proprietary format in its backups, you'd better make sure a copy is available for restoration.
