Email Backup extension for OpenOffice.org

You can use any email account (e.g. Gmail) to quickly backup the Writer document your are currently working on. Simply install the Email Backup extension, and you can email the active document with a single mouse click. To install the extension:

1. Download the EmailBackup.zip package. Do not unzip it.
2. Choose Tools -> Extension Manager.
3. Select My Extensions and press the Add button.
4. Select the EmailBackup.zip package and press Open.

Once the extension is installed, restart OpenOffice.org. To backup the current document, choose Tools -> Add-Ons -> Email Backup (see figure), enter the email address you want to use, and you are done.
