This was to test FBackup.
I use Win7 Pro x64.

I made a backup on an external drive of my Email (Windows Live Mail) - I selected "Windows Mail" from the drop down list in FBackup.
On a separate machine with XP freshly installed (fully updated) I installed Windows Live Mail & then FBackup.
I attached the external drive and tried to perform a restore of my Email.
FBackup was unable to do this, causing my system to hang (explorer crashed).
Why would I not be able to restore in this situation please?

Hi,
Please send us by email (to: info[at]fbackup[dot]com) the restore log from View->Job logs->Last Restore Log.

I'll have to recreate as I used Acronis to restore the operating system.

In Win 7(x64) I have made BackUp for mine WinMail, then have removed some messages in mail and further have restored mail from a backup copy. After restoration I haven't found remote messages? Thank you.
