Where is Microsoft Outlook Backup?

Bill_C · October 2023

I own the full licenced version of AOMEI Backupper Professional.

At the AOMEI web site, I stumbled upon an AOMEI instruction article on how to backup Outlook. There is an image of the Backupper window with the Backup icon selected. On the bottom right, is the Outlook Backup Tool. Here is the image:

My professional version does not have this. How do I get the Outlook Backup tool showing?

Update to new version.

Backupper Pro Edition

Keeps license activated when updating Pro version

Thank you, I am over a year out of date. Still running May 18, 2022 Version 6.9.2. Got lazy and impatient and did not bother.

Also, a trap I did not know about is the Tools Window. You cannot see that you need to scroll down to see Backup Tools and Free Tools. The Data Recovery Tool right down the bottom is listed. This is very handy and I'll test this out on a drive that became corrupt some time ago.

The Data Recovery Tool

This turned out to be a real fizzer.

It is not installed, and they don't tell you until you click on it. Then you have to download it and install. Do not click the free download. First, scroll to the bottom of the page and you have 3 choices. The free, Pro and Tech.

The Free version: Recover data up to 30 MB each time. That size is a joke in this day and age. The Pro version is $70 for a lifetime licence. Aomei Data Recovery Support Windows 11/10/8/7

I would be better off with Piriform's Recuva. Free. Advanced file recovery unlimited. Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista and XP. Including both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. I do run XP 64-bit a lot.
