Should you backup your email data?

For those who use an email client, loosing their emails is one of the worst nightmares. Unfortunately this situation is quite probable.

There are several causes for this:
- hard disk failures
- viruses and Trojans
- Widows crashes

Hard Disks can fail from several reasons: logical problems like bad partitions, hardware problems caused by dropping them or something on them, or, sometimes they just stop functioning. You can use several data recovery tools like GetDataBack or Acronis that might save your day. But you might no be able to get back any byte.

Viruses are increasing their numbers day by day. It’s hard to keep up even for the big players like Symantec or Kaspersky. They reduced the response time for a new virus, but if you are unlucky, the virus crashes your computer before you can apply the antivirus.

Well, we all know how reliable Windows is. There is no person that can say he never saw a "blue screen". Because most of the email clients store emails, accounts and settings in My Documents, program files or windows registry, when you reinstall the operating system you loose them all. Even Microsoft CEO Bill Gates acknowledged that they counted 5 percent of total Windows based computers to crash twice every day.
