About Outlook backup

If you are backing up emails from Outlook 2016, 2013, 2010, or 2007, inSync provides two options for backup: Outlook 2016, 2013, 2010, 2007 - Optimized for performance and Outlook 2016, 2013, 2010, 2007 - Optimized for efficiency. The following table lists the difference between these two backup options.

Property Outlook 2016, 2013, 2010, 2007 - Optimized for efficiency Outlook 2016, 2013, 2010, 2007 - Optimized for performance
Data deduplication More efficient, app-aware data de-duplication. Saves only a single copy of duplicate emails and attachments across users. File-level data de-duplication. The inSync Client backs up updates to the PST files.
Backup speed Faster backups. The inSync Client uses outlook's MAPI interface to identify messages that are added, updated, or deleted and selectively backs up that data. The inSync Client requires more time to analyze and identify changes to the PST.
Non-attached PST By default, the inSync Client backs up only the attached PST files. However, if your administrator selected Include PST files from all drives, inSync will locate all unattached PST files on the device and back them up as Flat File s. The inSync Client backs up all attached PST files. It also backs up all unattached PST files that are there in the folders containing the attached PST files.
Restore Faster restore. Instead of the entire PST, the inSync Client restores specific folders, such as Inbox, Sent Items.

The inSync Client requires more time for restoring data.

The inSync Client can restore only the entire PST.
Restore requirement Requires inSync and Outlook to restore emails. No specific requirement.
Note: 
  • Druva recommends that you do not use Outlook 2016, 2013, 2010, 2007 - Optimized for efficiency if Outlook is using IMAP.
  • If you upgrade from Outlook 32-bit to 64-bit, restart the  Druva inSync Client Service .
