Well, here's the thing, your local copy of Outlook has ALL the data cached on your hard drive. Exchange server goes "POOF"? Open up Outlook, FILE > EXPORT, then you have your PST. Or, heck, you can do that once a week if you want. The data you see inside Outlook is really also on your hard drive. |
Niftily enough, Handy Backup handles backing up the new set of data nicely.
I tried 4Smartphone back in November and it didn't go particularly well. I signed up for another trial at the beginning of last month and it was as smooth as silk this time, and I've been using it since. :way to go:
