Is there a selective backup+restore tool for Outlook?

[Paul Gerard]

Ok, there are dozends of backup tools for Outlook (2002/2003) but is there
a tool which does a SELECTIVE backup + restore?

E.g. I want to backup only message
- which are older than 20 days or
- whose size is greater than 200 KB or
- whose sender is (e-mail address removed) or
- which are currently hold in the mail folder "sometopic" inside Outlook?

The same filter criteria should be applicable to the restore function as well:
The user should be able to restore only some emails out of a huge emails store?

Moreover is there a tool with a "Move" function?
Thus emails which are backuped should be removed from the current *.pst mail database.

Hi,

For the purpose of a selective backup with a selective criteria, you can
go ahead and use the auto archive feature of Outlook or else the archive
feature for different folders. But, I am afraid you cannot do a restore back
to the same folders when you want to.

Hope this helps !!!

Search and copy to another PST willo do these.

Copy from the backup PST to the main PST will do these.
