There is a lot of things that I like about Outlook 2003, but the back up
utility isn't one of them. I come from using a contact management program
where you simply click to back up every thing and then click again to
restore your entire file. I mean if something causes you to have to reformat
and then you restore everything is there just the way you saved it.
So far with my experimenting with Outlook it's not the same.
After backing up I burn the back up file to CD. I take it to my other
computer to try and restore it to Outlook 2003 there. I click File > Backup
Nothing apparent happens on the screen except I see new folders.
I click there an low and behold there is the customer contacts.
I select anyone double click and select the "All Activities" tab. Nothing
for any of them where did all of activities for the contacts go.
IMHO when you back up EVERYTHING should be backing up Email messages,
addresses, distribution list, everything! Isn't that what backing up is all
about anyway???
If there is some way to do what I want would some kind soul direct me
please?
TIA
