Creating a backup of your emails

Created by Ross Hobson, Modified on Wed, 27 Jul, 2022 at 10:11 AM by Ross Hobson

In Outlook, go to File (top left) -> Open & Export (side bar, upper left side) -> Import/Export (on the main screen)

This should open the Import and Export Wizard, as shown below:

Choose Export to a file -> Choose Outlook Data File (.pst) -> Choose what you want to export - if you want everything, select the email itself as shown in the image below:



Click through to the next page, which will be Export Outlook Data File - choose the path/file name you want the backup to be, then hit Finish

This will then create a .pst file backup of all the contents you requested.
