About the Juno Backup Wizard

The Juno Backup Wizard is a useful tool that you can use to make a copy of, or back up, the user information stored in your Juno account. Your user information can include your saved e-mail messages and personal folders, Address Book, external e-mail account settings, personal Spell Check dictionary, Mail Assistants, and other Juno user settings. The Juno Backup Wizard creates a single backup file that contains all this information.

You can use the Juno Backup Wizard to:

•	Create a backup copy of your user information before you install a new version of Juno. (This is recommended.)

•	Create a backup copy just to have on hand.

•	Move your user information to another computer on which you use Juno.

If you need to, you can then add, or restore, your backed up user information to your account.

Note:	If you want to move an account to another computer, you must import the account first before you can restore your account data to it.
