I recently heard that 43% of computer users will LOSE their data. They aren't backing up their computers or using a backup software product that they don't know how to use the system to restore their files.
I recommend two important steps.
1) For those of you that are backing up your data -- congratulations, however, make sure you try to restore some of the files so you know how in the event you need to.
2) Outlook stores your data in .pst files and NOT typically found in the MyDocuments folder. I personally copy MyDocuments to other drives -- exact copies and not using back up software -- I don't have to worry about compression or saving space but just want to make sure I can plug my external USB drives in any system to retrieve my files.
Go find your Outlook data files and make sure you are copying or your back up program is saving these files.
It isn't a matter of if your computer will crash and put your files at risk it is when.....
Make it a profitable day and beyond, Scott Hoen
