Your AOL software automatically backs up the e-mail's you have saved on your PC (Personal Filing Cabinet or PFC). This backup occurs once in every 4 weeks, when you exit the AOL software as part of your Personal Storage backup. The backed up Personal Storage is placed in a different folder on your computer.

AOL File backup offers additional protection for the Mail Saved on My PC (PFC) by backing it up to your remote storage space on AOL. To ensure that the backed up e-mail messages are as up-to-date as possible, AOL File backup automatically updates the Personal Storage backup frequency to "every week" during your installation of AOL File backup. You may change this setting at any time if you wish to back up your Personal Storage less frequently.


If you are using the AOL Desktop software, you can import the Personal Filing Cabinet (PFC) from an earlier version of the AOL 9.0 software, but the option to back up your Personal Filing Cabinet is not available.

The recovery of e-mails after terminated its subscription is not possible, unless it was previously registered and read the mails sent to the Archives read offline.
