How To Backup Your Address Book In Outlook Express

If anything happens to your computer or if you want a copy of your address book on another computer, saving your address book to a floppy is a snap.

Saving A Copy Of Your Address Book

  • Open Outlook Express
  • Click ‘File’
  • Choose ‘Export Address Book’
  • Choose ‘Text File’
  • Click ‘Export’
  • Enter a filename you choose to save copy as (ie. addresses)
  • Click ‘Browse’ to select the location you would like to save the copy to
  • Click ‘Next’
  • Select the fields you wish to save by ticking the boxes
  • Now click ‘Finish’
  • Click ‘OK’
  • Click ‘Close’

Check the location you saved the file to and ensure the copy was made (it will be a .csv file). Keep a copy of this file on a floppy disk that you can use to transfer your address book to another computer (and to restore in case your computer crashes), as well as a copy in a master backup folder you keep on your computer (recommended) to easily reload your address book in case of mistaken deletions.
