Restoring from Backups of the Outlook Agent |
|
|
Restoring from Backups performed through the Outlook Agent is similar to Restoring from Searches.
In the screenshot above, a backup was performed for both the search of a specific set of emails and a particular folder including its contents. WinBackup will then allow you to restore all of these emails or only those which are missing. See, Restore To.

When restoring from the Outlook Agent, you will note the following changes: 1. The icon for each individual email restored will change
from standard (
2. Reminders and flags will not be backed up through the Outlook Agent. These are however backed up through normal backup or through backups with Shortcuts.
3. Individual attachments that occur more than once are only backed up once through the Outlook Agent. For example, when you receive an attachment from a friend and you forward this to another friend, Outlook saves two instances of the same attachment. The Outlook Agent will only save one instance of the same attachment to economize on hard disk space. The Outlook Shortcut will save both attachments as it backs up your entire PST or OST files.
4. Any synchronization performed with third-party devices and/or software including links may be lost when restoring from backups performed through the Outlook Agent. Backing up through Shortcuts may eliminate this possibility.
5. WinBackup does not overwrite emails. Rather when restoring it creates a copy of the original email not to compromise any possible worthwhile changes that may have been carried out. If the original email is, for example, somehow corrupt, WinBackup will leave that alone and create a restored version from the original - so you will see two emails.
