At Options Tab, you can also select to split the backup file to multiple volumes (for floppy disk, CD 650 Mb, CD700Mb).
Restore
- At the left side of the screen is a TreeView with the current folders and files on your computer. Please select the backup file that you would like to restore.
- As soon as you select the backup file at the step above, the identities and items backed up in the file will be shown in the lists in the right side of the screen. Check the identities and items that you would like to restore, and proceed to the next step.
Note: Some Email Clients store different items in the same data files, therefore for these Email Clients some items can be bound together and therefore you can't deselect them.
- Select the Email Client to restore to, and click Next.
- Select the location to restore; you have two options:
- a) restore directly to the Email Client ( this will overwrite any information in the Email Client, such as emails, address book, etc )
- b) restore to a folder in order to import the emails later using the Email Client import function.
- Click Restore, a window displaying the restore progress will appear.

Frequently Asked Questions - Outlook Express Backup Genie
- Q. When I do a restore, it tells me the restore has been successful, but there is no mail, contacts nor other data when I open Outlook Express
A. Please before restoring open Outlook Express so that it can initialize some if its internal data; and then close it. Now you should be able to restore just fine.
- Q. Can this program backup email data in Netscape, or MSN8?
A. No, not yet. We plan to add this functionality in the future.
- Q. I get this error message: "this backup is not compatible with selected email client". Why?
A. This error message occurs when you are trying to restore a backup to an email client different from the one from which the backup was created, for example, creating a backup of IncrediMail and trying to restore to Outlook Express. If you are trying to restore to the same Email Client from which the backup was created, please contact us immediately if you get this error message.
