Outlook Express Freebie Backup has been taken offline. I am
making changes to the program and will reintroduce it at a later date.
Meanwhile, Outlook Express Quick Backup will remain online. The intent of the
program remains the same, to be able to backup a system's Outlook Express files
and settings in case of some unfortunate accident. It is not a program
for transferring OE from computer to computer unless you wish to do a bit of
editing, which can easily be done if you are savvy enough. If you just need to
be able to transfer the DBX files to another computer, it of course will
back them up so you can IMPORT then into the second system.
New Version - OEQB
- v1.3.0.6 - 12/12/2004 - Fixed a bug where Regedit would add an extra
\ to some of the .reg files. I can't fix regedit but can solve the extra slash
in the file.
New version - 11/12/2004 - fixed folder path bug
New -- 08/20/04 Command line parameters added:
You can now automatically backup from the command line using the following
options:
/O -- Overwrite previous backup automatically.
/A -- Automatically backup all identities.
/H -- Hide form when backing up.
Usage Example: OEQB /O /A /H
will automatically backup all Identities and hide the form while doing so.
If you have already installed previous versions of the programs, download the
newest executable file and then replace the older one.
If you have not downloaded a previous version, then download the older install
versions and the new executables and then after installation, replace the
installed exe files with the newer downloads.
Current Version: 1.3.0.6
OEQB has an additional command line argument that can be used.
/b:<drive>:\<path>
This will allow you to select a folder for the files or create it if it does not
exist. This one must be used as the last argument:
EXAMPLE:
oeqb.exe /o /a /h /b:C:\Backup
OEFB has expanded to include some additional features. While it is still a basic
backup program, like the original version, it is useful for maintaining Outlook
Express message stores and registry entries. It's appearance is not one that is
"pretty", far from that, it's idea was to provide the utilities for a simple
backup program and forget the idea of being pretty. So, please forgive it's
ugliness, maybe one day I'll do a make over of it but that's not in the
foreseeable future.
NOTE: You must have Administrative
privileges or at least ability to have access to allow registry changes
Quick overview of features:
-
Complete Backup and Restore with just one button (each - ok, so it's two
buttons)
-
Quick backup of current selected Identity.
