WMBackup

WMBackup is a straightforward piece of software that enables you to back up and restore your Windows Mail or Windows Live Mail messages and settings to file, including message rules and spam filters.

It features several handy options and configuration parameters that are intuitive enough to be figured out by anyone.

After a brief and uneventful setup procedure, you are greeted by a small window with a simple structure, representing WMBackup's interface.

You can get started by managing settings in regard to the target and temporary backup folders, apply folder changes to automated backups, change to the standard folder automatically if the drive can't be reached, establish the maximum number of backups to keep, adjust the compression rate, as well as ask the tool to automatically verify the backup's integrity after creation and to turn off the computer.

What's more, you can enable or disable all information dialogs, hide the start screen, minimize WMBackup to the taskbar, set the default email client between Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail, point out the app's priority level, automatically print backup reports, register the .wmbackup file extension, and so on.

Once all settings are configured, backups can be easily created and restored. WMBackup lets you view backup content, including general information, saved email folders, settings applied, and reports. Backup jobs can be scheduled to run automatically on a regular basis.

We have not come across any difficulties throughout our evaluation, thanks to the fact that WMBackup did not hang, crash or pop up error messages. It has a good response time to commands and left a small footprint on system resources in our tests.

WMBackup delivers a fast and simple solution to users who want to regularly back up messages and settings from their Windows Mail or Windows Live Mail account, accompanied by a rich configuration set.
