There is nothing worse than going to check your emails one day and finding out that for one reason or another that you have lost everything. If you rely heavily on emails for business, this can turn into a major drain on your company unless you spend a couple of minutes every so often to create a back-up of your Outlook folder. Here are 3 simple steps to follow which could save you hours of work time if something goes wrong.

Step 1: In your Outlook Shortcuts menu, right click on the Outlook Today icon and then select Personal Folder Properties before clicking Advanced.

Step 2: What you need now is the Path from the path menu. Copy this and then open Windows Explorer. Paste the path into the address bar and press Enter.

Step 3: Look for the Outlook.pst file which is located in that folder and copy it by right clicking it and select copy. Then paste the copy onto your back-up disc.
