Doesn't your IT department backup its mail server?

You can download and install an Outlook add-in from Microsoft which you can schedule automatic backup of your pst files. Here is the link:

No actually, that's why I'm worried about it.

By default your IT department backs up your email whether they want to or not. Exchange server keeps everyone's emails on the server itself unless it has been modified not to. The other reason why it wouldn't be backed up is that your company doesn't use Exchange and is using some other email server that obviously doesn't back it up.

Well, if you are using XP then go to this folder:

c:\Documents and Settings\xxxxx\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

If you're using Vista:

c:\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook

xxxxx = your windows user name

In that folder you will see your PST file. By default it is named Outlook.pst but the extension is normally hidden. Just copy this file to a safe place and if you ever lose your emails just import that file back to either that location or through Outlook's import feature.

Thanks a lot. I've already backup all my mails. Reason I want to do this is, our mail server doesn't backup mails there.

Anyway, thanks for all comments.
