There is no indication when performing an archive that recurring items like
bithdays are not included. I am meticulous at backing up etc. and thought I
was doing the same with Outlook.
However I recently suffered a computer virus problem and had to format my
boot drive and reinstall everything.
That’s when I discovered the major fault as I see it in the Outlook archive
system. I have now lost all my recurring calendar events (foolishly I trusted
that I did not need my old list in Excel and had deleted it!) so now I will
have to start again asking people when their important dates are.
I suggest a very clear auto message should be displayed when archiving that
recurring events are not included and cannot be backed up.
Needless to say I will not be putting my recurring events back into Outlook.
