Backup as a self-executable file:
Always be prepared!

You can backup your data as an EXE file that can be executed on any machine even if Genie Outlook Backup is not installed! This file will be a bit larger compared to the .bol file since the EXE file will contain the .bol file in addition to other components to make it executable.

Backing up into an EXE file is very helpful when you want to format your hard disk or when you need to migrate your data to another machine that doesn't have Genie Outlook Backup installed.

To backup your data to a self-executable file you need to:

1- Choose Normal backup mode, if Genie Outlook Backup is not already set to Normal Backup, you can do so by pressing the "Switch Layout" button in the main menu
2- Proceed to the second step of the backup wizard process
3- Select the "Backup as executable EXE file" checkbox in the "Backup Media Type Settings" group box as shown below

Note:
Backup to a self-executable file is only available when backin up data to local/LAN locations or a remote FTP server
