backing up faxes from WINDOWS XP

[********Meg]

I use the fax module on windows XP. I need to back up my sent/rec'd faxes
for a restore.

Any suggestions?

I use the fax module on windows XP. I need to back up my sent/rec'd faxes
for a restore.

The simplest solution appears to be using your fax
app to / File / Export faxes in a file format you can
read in future. We do not know which app you use
(e.g.

/ Start / Help / "fax" tells us how to start
/ All Programs / Accessories / Fax Console.
When you select a single fax from the / Sent Items folder
you can / File / Export it in TIF format (rather than as a
WP file of course being able to read the fax here means
you may be able thus to identify its WP file, if saved.

Repost here if neither method is possible.

Whilst I have been able to backup fax stores, when using several different
fax apps, I've never been able to recover them when the PC was rebuilt -
tried many times
I still have the original backups so if any legal issues arise I can happily
provide the backups for others to sort out.
The post to export to another file format seems best

Faxes are usually .tif files, any graphic application that can read
tiffs should be able to open them.
