Where Should You Save
Your Data Backup?
In a small
business or home office, you can save your archive to a memory stick,
CD, or on your hard drive.
The default location
for Outlook is buried deep in your personal profile settings on the
hard drive. Saving to the
C:\ drive is OK as long as you create a backup copy. Keep in mind if
the C:\ hard drive fails, you lose your Outlook data as well as the
archives.
Memo to Self: In many corporations and government
networks, the policy is to discourage people from saving things to
the C:\ hard drive. The data should be saved on the server, where
there are redundant drives and nightly backups.
