Migrating applications from one computer or operating system to another can be a hassle. Doing so for e-mail clients can be particularly frustrating. However, this dandy little utility lets you breathe easy by making the Outlook move a simple process.

BackRex Outlook Backup loads an easy-to-access icon onto your desktop. Launching the utility opens a small dialog box from which you can choose the Outlook components to back up and the destination location for the resulting package. This handy utility performed well in our tests, and selecting options was simply a matter of a few clicks. Navigating its processes was simple, as the utility's designers had the foresight to craft BackRex to function like a wizard. Clicking Next moved the app through its paces, and in about a minute's time the utility had completed its tasks. Restoring the archived data also was a snap, although some of the Restore feature's functionality was limited for the trial version.

If your work environment is so volatile as to require frequent (at least once or more a year) migrations, you'll want to give this easy-to-use utility a try. The price isn't too prickly, and the amount of frustration it relieves in migrating Outlook may seem worth the price during the move.

All of my Outlook information was correctly backed up
jimmya123April 19, 2009
Pros
Great product. I've tried other Outlook backup software and it didn't backup all information correctly and I ended up spending hours re-entering information by hand. This worked well and was easy to use.
Cons
None that I could find, even with my very sophisticated Outlook setup.
Summary
I needed to move my Outlook 2007 setup to a new computer. I have over 20 email accounts, over 30 folders, and about 20 rules. I've tried other software in the past and it didn't backup all information correctly and I ended up spending hours re-entering information by hand. Also, this software was very easy to understand and use. It look me about 15 minutes to install and use it. If you are still not sure, I recommend trying the demo first.
This One Works!!!

Pros
Was looking for a backup utility for outlook and looked at several. But ABF didn't work very well at all. this worked right off the bat AND the demo backsup and restores the account info as well, which ABF demo would not do.
Cons
Nothing not to like!!
Summary
Bottom Line: It works!d This is the one to buy!
Saves Oulook/IE and magically reinstalls them!

Pros
Micorosft makes it so hard to really backup and move Outlook. This just picks it up and moves everything to another compuater, and also allows for a smooth backup. As a bonus it collects all your settings and favorites for IE, and moves them too.
Cons
None, super program, used for years
Summary
Reliable, easy to run, inexpensive or free and complete!
