Windows XP Backup - Email address book
brbrown
of personal settings such as Documents and web Favourites, I use XP's own
backup. Can anyone please tell me where in the backup setup I can find my
email address book and current email folders? At present I export the address
book to my desktop which I can then see in the backup setup page but surely
there is a box somewhere to tick. I can't find it.

as usual I didn't get email notification and sorry for the lack of
information. I am using Outlook Express. Thanks Leonard, I'll take look at
your link but surely there is an option in XP's backup facility boxes to
tick? Brian.

Hello David. Thanks for that. I was trying to use XP Backup to backup
Documents, Favourites as well as Email Address Book. I just thought the
information might be in XP's own backup but with my inexperience, didn't know
where to find it.

Not quite sure what you mean Olorin. I surrender. However, thanks everyone
for your interest. Best wishes. Brian

Thanks Olorin. I did get somewhere, although I thought the details on
Leonard's link seemed a bit complicated but at the same time I found a link
on a Microft Help page referring specifically to XP Backup. It appears that
Outlook Express's Email Address Book and Messages are included in the
Documents section if ticked for backup. However, for peace of mind, I shall
trawl through the details to fin it.

Another way to find the Address Book and messages:
For the Address Book, search for this:
*.wab
That is,
Start | Search | All Files and Folders
In the box "All or part of the file name", type:
*.wab
Under More Advanced Options, make sure the following are checked:
Search hidden files and folders
Search subfolders
Click Search.
The default location should be:
C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Application Data\Microsoft\Address
Book
Regarding messages, all these files have the .dbx extension. So simply
search for
*.dbx
The above being said, I still think you will find value in trawling
through that Web site. :-)
