Outlook Backup Restore

Outlook OST and PST files store important data locally and make it possible for users to work offline until it is possible to connect to the Exchange server again.

With the right application, you can extract messages, contacts, calendar items, notes and various other items from these archives. Outlook Backup Restore is one such program, and it features a minimalistic interface that should make it accessible to experts and novices alike.

Outlook Backup Restore offers a limited array of functions, but it is a great tool for users who only need to view OST or PST files and, possibly, extract their contents.

You can import a single file at a time, but it is a shame that drag and drop actions are not supported, as this feature would have made it a lot easier to import new items.

Once you have added a backup file, you can read specific messages, but it is also possible to export their contents to TXT files. Moreover, any included attachments can also be saved locally.

Because Outlook Backup Restore cannot modify the source files in any way, there is no danger of deleting important messages accidentally. Inexperienced users should find the application to be very accessible, as the simple interface layout is easy to get accustomed to.

However, it might have helped if some advanced features were included as well. Most importantly, it would be very useful if there were a way to extract multiple items at once, especially if you need to process a large number of messages.

Outlook Backup Restore is a lightweight, easy-to-use utility designed to help you view the contents of Outlook OST and PST files. It allows you to extract messages and attachments, but it is not capable of saving multiple items at once.
