Performing a complete backup of Outlook data and its settings can perplex an inexperienced user and take a long time. Genie Outlook Backup quickly backs up and restores Outlook data, including mail folders, account settings, signatures, and custom forms. It also safeguards your Windows Favorites, Internet Explorer settings, and any files of your choice. The program's interface is not as clear as it could be, at least for a beginner, yet Genie Outlook Backup generates easy-to-read log files. You can store your data on an FTP server or CD/DVD. The program lets you compress, encrypt, and password-protect saved data. Scheduling options let you perform backups at every system start or at regular intervals. Multilingual users should note that the program failed to read IE favorites whose names contained Spanish characters. This program has a relatively high price for running a specialized task. Users who rely heavily on Outlook may benefit, but others may want a more general backup tool.

Summary
"Genie Outlook Backup" caused me to lose over 3 years of invaluable business and personal emails. I used the program to backup MS Outlook email and then attempted to restore after a format. The program effectively restored my "sent" and "deleted" folders, but completely failed to restore the "inbox" in which all the important data was contained. Overall I would give this program a score of horrible. Using Genie Outlook backup was a complete nightmare. I definitely would not recommend this program to anyone who values their outlook data. I have used "ABF Outlook Backup" in the past with great results... trying "Genie Outlook Backup" was a mistake to say the least.
Not too great on ability to use backups

Summary
This seems to work fine if you simply want to restore old Outlook data on the same computer with the same installation of Windows, under the same user (Win2k/XP) - BUT, if you are backing thing up incase you have to re-format, or with to move the data over to another user account, it's not that good; the problems I found with that is, folders and messages copy over just fine - but any rules you had set, you may see, but they are NOT active, AND with the mail accounts themselves, if you had a saved password - I sure hope you remember what it was, because that saved password is no longer there! In short a good backup program will put everything back EXACTLY the way it was when it was backed up, regardless of the place/account you are coping it back to.....

I highly recommend this product, so many features, easy to use, now I can relax cuz I know my Outlook data is save, I have about 10,000(s) of emails, and always was afraid of virus or anything happen to my emails, I schedule it to backup and FTP every day at 11 pm, so no matter what happens I will not lose my email, also there is cool feature I like, email notification, after the backup Genie will email me with the backup result ,good work, but I am switching the Genie Backup Manager soon, same features plus much more, specially the ability to backup and burn DVD+RW
