If you are using Outlook and your organization does not use an Exchange server, all your Outlook information, including your contacts, calendar entries, and e-mail, is stored in a personal folders file (.pst file). This add-in simplifies the oft-neglected backup of this file, by adding a menu item directly on your Outlook client, and can be set to remind you of your backup. This backup and then be stored on a file server or taken off-site for disaster recovery purposes.

- Pros:
- I've been using it since Microsoft released it, wow!, back with Outlook 2003, I guess. Maybe sooner, but it's been a long time. It's a great tool that does one thing and does it well: backs up your Outlook data file (email, contacts, rules, etc.) on a schedule you decide on, in a location of your choosing.
- Cons:
- The only one I can think of is that it defaults to a location on the same drive as a backup location. Aside from that, I've never seen anything "con" about this utility.
It you don't have it, grab it now. If you do have it, use it wisely and often!
