The Outlook Agent Feature of WinBackup is an alternative to the Outlook Shortcut and allows you to gain actual control over the data contained within your Outlook PST and OST files. This feature is available only in WinBackup Professional and Server.
You can access this feature by expanding the Agents Icon (
). You
will also see the Microsoft Outlook Icon
(
) on the right-hand side of the Work Area.
With the WinBackup Outlook Agent, you can either browse or perform searches for specific emails that you want backed up and/or restored.
The Outlook Agent offers you greater flexibility than the Outlook Shortcut
in that the latter backups up your OST and PST files with accessing them.
The Outlook
Agent enables you to browse through all the folders of and emails contained
single or multiple Outlook mailboxes. WinBackup
reproduces your directory structure with 100% accuracy together with all
the emails that you would have received to that and that are still contained
in your PST or OST files. Folders
and emails are selected for backup in the same manner as regular files,
i.e., by clicking on the box 
that is beside the folder
or specific email. To remove a selection, click on the box to mark the
folder or file as unchecked. Click on the 
sign to list
the sub-folders.
Searching through Specific Emails and Folders in Outlook
You may also search for specific emails in the same way as described in the Windows-type Search Feature and the Advanced Search Feature. With Windows-type Search Feature you may look for specific words in the subject of the email or you can search for actual names of senders (or recipients).
In the above example, the search returns three emails. By ticking the Search Results checkbox, you will be selecting the specified emails to be backed up. This is extremely useful when your emails are spread over several folders and you cannot keep track of these locations.
Searches using Regular Expressions may also be performed. Learn more about Regular Expressions and WinBackup Advanced Search Feature.

When using the Outlook Agent, it is recommended that you shut down Microsoft Outlook. Learn how You Can Create a Script to Shutdown Outlook Automatically.
The Outlook Agent is not identical to Shortcuts and will be seen in Restoring from Backups of the Outlook Agent. You will need to use either of the features and not both at the same time depending on whether you want to backup specific email/s and folders or all your mail-box.
