About Archiving
You can export items such as mail messages, tasks, contacts, notes, and calendar events from Entourage into an archive file (.rge extension). This allows you to store information in another location and remove it from Entourage or to make a back up of your Entourage information without removing it.
- Important: When making back ups and archives, keep the following in mind:
-
Groups, notes with multimedia elements and category information for all items except contacts CANNOT be exported.
-
When exporting messages stored on a mail server, the entire contents of the message can only be exported if it has been downloaded from the mail server.
-
Even if you delete items after exporting, messages stored on the mail server will NOT be deleted.
Archive or Back up Entourage Information
-
Empty all Deleted Items folders to avoid getting items you do not want.
- On the File menu, click Export.
-
Click Export items to an Entourage archive and select the items that you want to include.
- Under Archive the following item types, select the types of
items that you want to include, and then click the right arrow to continue.
- Choose whether or not you want to delete the items that you are exporting,
and then click the right arrow to continue.
- Enter a name for the archive file and a location to store it, and then click
Save.
Restore Entourage Information
- On the File menu, click Import.
- Click Import information from an Entourage archive and then
click the right arrow to continue.
- Locate the .rge folder that you want to import and then click
Import.
Tips:
- If you need to refer to information stored in an archive temporarily, Create a new identity and import the information into it. Then, when you are finished, you can simply delete the new identity.
- If you want to explore the contents of an archive, CONTROL+click the .rge folder and then click Show Package Contents.
