There are several ways to auto-backup your Outlook 2013 mail. Here are a few methods:

Method 1: Using Outlook's built-in backup feature

  2. Under the "Export" section, click on "Export" and select "Export to a file".
  3. Choose the file format you want to export to (e.g. PST, EML, MSG).
  4. Select the folders you want to backup (e.g. Inbox, Sent Items, Drafts).
  5. Choose a location to save the backup file.
  6. Click "Export" to start the backup process.

Method 2: Using a third-party backup software

  1. Download and install a third-party backup software that supports Outlook, such as:
    • EaseUS Todo Backup
    • Acronis True Image
    • Macrium Reflect
  2. Launch the software and follow the instructions to create a backup plan.
  3. Select Outlook as the application to backup and choose the folders you want to backup.
  4. Choose a location to save the backup file.
  5. Schedule the backup to run automatically at a specified time.

Method 3: Using a script

  1. Open the Windows Task Scheduler (you can search for it in the Start menu).
  2. Create a new task and give it a name and description.
  3. Set the trigger to run the task at a specified time or interval.
  4. In the "Actions" tab, click "New" and select "Start a program".
  5. In the "Program/script" field, enter the path to the Outlook executable (e.g. "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\OUTLOOK.EXE").
  6. In the "Add arguments" field, enter the following command: /backup "C:\Path\To\Backup\Folder" "C:\Path\To\Backup\File.pst"
  7. Click "OK" to save the task.

Method 4: Using a PowerShell script

  1. Open PowerShell as an administrator.
  2. Create a new script file (e.g. "backup-outlook.ps1") and add the following code:
    $backupFolder = "C:\Path\To\Backup\Folder"
$backupFile = "C:\Path\To\Backup\File.pst"
$ol = New-Object -ComObject Outlook.Application
$ol.GetNamespace("MAPI").GetDefaultFolder(6).Items | Export-Csv -Path $backupFile -NoTypeInformation
$ol.Quit()
  3. Save the script file.
  4. Schedule the script to run automatically at a specified time or interval using the Windows Task Scheduler.

Remember to replace the file paths and folder names with your own values. It's also a good idea to test your backup process regularly to ensure that it's working correctly.
