#HOTMAIL BACKUP 2016 FREE#
Below you can find info about why and how.Įven though Microsoft makes backups of their services and goes to great lengths to make restores when needed, keep in mind that it is still a free service and you still have a responsibility yourself for making backups if you can’t afford to lose any of it. However, there are still scenarios where it might be beneficial to have a backup of your own. With an mailbox is also easy to recover accidentally deleted items, even when they are no longer in the Deleted Items folder. Using an account takes away many of the traditional reasons for why you should make a backup and when you need a restore.įor instance, when your ost-file gets corrupted, you can easily delete it and Outlook will automatically recreate it from the server. How do I convert this ost-file into a pst-file?.What is the best way to backup and restore my mailbox?.I tried opening the ost-file, to test whether I could restore it, but Outlook doesn’t let me and expects a pst-file. Now that I have switched to, I no longer have a pst-file but an ost-file. I used to have a POP3 account for which I always had to backup the pst-file and I had no issues with restoring it when I needed it.
