The possibility that Mac Outlook client stops working without warning, or a virus compromises the mailbox data, is enough to make us all think about backing up Outlook Mac data as soon as we can. But as most of the people soon find out, an agile and manageable backup system is hard to create.
Every day, folks run into real headaches, like email viruses or their laptops taking a tumble and ending up with a smashed hard drive. These aren’t just scary stories. They happen more often than we’d like, impacting everyone from big businesses to the average Joe. The consequences can range from a minor hiccup in your day to major issues, leading to hours spent digging through emails or serious hits to your work and reputation.
While these disruptions are unavoidable at times, the impact can be significantly reduced. The answer lies in having a solid Outlook Mac backup plan, providing the means to quickly restore your email data and get your digital work life back on track.
Beyond “What If?” – The Real-World Benefits of Backups
You might want to shrug off the thought of backing up Outlook on Mac, thinking, “That’s not for me.” But think about the risk of losing your data.
Securing your emails right away can bring some clear benefits, like:
- Swift Recovery: Cut down the downtime in case of any data loss, and quickly get back your important emails, attachments, and calendar info in minutes or hours, not days.
- Stress Reduction: Sleep better at night knowing your files are stored safely, especially when troubles hit out of the blue (which they do).
- Business Continuity: Ensure your dealings with clients and the momentum of your projects remain undisturbed, thanks to having your emails always in reach, resulting in reliable communication channels.
Mail Backup X: The Foundation of Your Backup Strategy
Mail Backup X streamlines the often-dreaded task of Outlook Mac backup. Its intuitive interface and automation features allow you to easily set up a reliable system without needing extensive technical expertise.
Let’s begin setting up that system now. In no time, you will be backing up your Outlook Mac data like how the professionals and industry-experts do:
- First up, you’ve got to get Mail Backup X from their official site. Just download and install it.
- Next, fire up the program. You’ll need to enter in your license key or just kick things off with a free trial.
- Now, hit ‘Setup a New Backup Profile’ on the main screen, which you can find under the “Tasks” box. Can’t see it? You can also click on “My Backup Profiles” from the side menu bar, and then click on “Setup a New Backup Profile.”
- Choose ‘Outlook Mac’ because that’s the email client we’re backing up today.
- If an error pops up asking for permission, especially if it’s Mojave or newer operating system, go ahead and open your system preferences. You need to add Mail Backup X in the safe apps list to let it access the data on your system.
- Then, pick which folders from Outlook Mac you want to back up. Just the important ones, or all of them – your call. If your computer has space, it’s best to back up everything. Unless you suspect the final size of the files can get too big.
- Here’s the most important part, setting up your profile to backup Outlook Mac in exact ways you prefer or need:
- Name your profile so you can find it easily later.It’s better to be descriptive than concise. But don’t overdo it. Include the name of the software (Outlook Mac) and ideally the month and year (October 2020), and category if that will help in organization (like Work, Personal, Family, Travel, or anything else). So, something like: “Outlook Mac 2020 Backup – Work”
- Click ‘Choose a Space’ to pick where you want to save all your Outlook Mac backup files.Click “On this Computer” to save them anywhere inside your Mac. If you want to save them on remote locations, say on remote server or cloud-based storage solutions provided by services like Google Drive or OneDrive, you must first link them with the tool. It’s simple: just sign-in to the service like you usually do, and they can then be used as storage space for all the profiles you create.
- Decide on security. Go with ‘Secured (Encrypted)’ if you want it all locked up tight and inaccessible by anyone who doesn’t have the authorization. But if it’s an overkill for your purpose, you can simply choose to go for ‘Un-Secured,’ if you’re not worriedabout unwanted access (which can be the case for emails that are supposed to be shared with a large team and do not contain any sensitive information).
- Set how often you want backups: ‘Automatic’ is the easiest and most efficient way to keep updated backups at all times. But each case is different. So, you also have other options: ‘Manual’ if you want to start the backup process yourself each time, or ‘Recurring’ for a regular schedule (like every 3rd day or something).
- If you want portability, click ‘Add USB drive’ to automatically save backups to an external drive whenever you plug it in.
- Finally, save your profile settings and let the backup begin. If you selected ‘Manual,’ you will need to click on “Backup Now” under your backup profile.
Keep an eye on the ‘Activities’ section to see if everything’s going fine. Once the backup of all Outlook Mac datais complete or there’s no active data being processed, you won’t see anything under the “Activities” box in your dashboard. You can then go to “My Backup Profiles” and open the profile for any further modification, or to see logs, or to even see the emails inside the backups.
