When I have had to format my hardrive and re-install windows I back up my emails and address book reguarly by saving them to CD,Zip and floppy so i can re-install them afterwards without loss if i had a crash or didnt get a chance before format. The point is Always back up reguarly, you never know when it could happen and to whom ? regards Brian (Weston-S-Mare) Researching Ancestors from Kingsclere area Hampshire All Mail Scanned by Norton AV 2003 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris & Caroline" <chris@chayles.freeserve.co.uk> To: <HAMPSHIRE-LIFE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, February 13, 2003 11:50 PM Subject: [HantsLife] Admin Note: How to back up your emails and address book > Over the past year we as well as others have had to either reformat our hard > drives or have bought a new computer, and have had problems saving those > emails and addresses. > > Microsoft have a page dedicated to this, we haven't tried it yet, as touch > wood all is okay but it might help some of you in the future > Go to: > http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=270670 > > > Chris and Caroline > See where your ancestors lived.....visit.... > SOUTHERN LIFE(UK) WEBSITE > Featuring the history of the villages of: > Hampshire, Berkshire, Surrey, Dorset, Isle of Wight, West Sussex & Wiltshire > http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~villages > > > --- > All of our Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. > And attachments are also scanned before being added. > Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). > Version: 6.0.449 / Virus Database: 251 - Release Date: 27/01/2003 > > > ==== HAMPSHIRE-LIFE Mailing List ==== > Please use common sense when sending or replying to messages on the list.
