Using your backups

This weekend, an emailer asked the question of how to use the backups that we describe on our site. An excellent question I'm sure others have had as well.

Over the years, I laid out step-by-step methods for backing up your email address book, favorites/bookmarks, and even your email. To use these backups, simply use the "Import" function to bring them back into a new installation of a program or even a new computer.

  • For Bookmarks or Favorites; use the Import function found in the File menu in Internet Explorer or the Import function in the organize bookmarks section of Firefox
  • For Address Books; open the address book you want to import into, then click File --> Import
  • For email;  use the File --> Import --> Messages in Outlook Express, or the File --> Import in Microsoft Outlook.

Great question and make sure to keep backing up your files on a regular basis!

Using your backups

Submitted by Smart Computer User on April 12, 2008 - 1:47pm.

Are there any backup programs that don't require a high speed connection? There aren't any available where we live.
