| 518912 | 2007-01-24 08:53:00 | The easiest thing to do is download a free to try Outlook Backup utility; it’s easy to use and works great. Just search google. | radium (8645) | ||
| 518913 | 2007-01-24 09:23:00 | Do a search for Outlook.pst and save that, it's all your emails. I'm not sure if address books and configuration data are in it as well, but I doubt it. I seem to recall backing these up separately at some time. Outlook Help files will probably give you the answer. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 518914 | 2007-01-24 09:23:00 | In Outlook 2003, go to: Files / Import and Export, select Export to a file, click next , select Personal folder file (.pst) , tick include subfolders , next then follow instructions to select your destination folder to complete the back up. It should be quite straight forward. |

| 518915 | 2007-01-24 09:54:00 | Yeah export it .. to a PST file and tick subfolders. Burn it on a DVD or a hard drive, just import it when you want it back. If from a CD or DVD copy to the HD and go to file properties and untick read only .. if not Outlook won't be able to read it. If you have a couple of PST files like in the past and you want to merge them all. One easy way is to open one and export it, close that, open another PST aned export it to the SAME destination, same filename and tick "replace duplicates". Therefore you won't have multiple same emails at the same day. The reason I say close one and open one is ... because when you are viewing the folders you cannot click more than one (Outlook 2000) and the icons look the same. The only icons that look the diff is the original "default" PST file loaded and the extra 2nd PST file you open up. If you have the default opened, and you have 2 or 3 extra PST opened. The 2 or 3 look the same icons and same wording ... hence I use close one .. open one .. ... .. |

| 518916 | 2007-01-26 15:36:00 | Another way is to use 3rd party software like Acronis True Image (www.acronis.com). It can create a backup copy of your e-mails, contacts, calendar, tasks, notes, signatures, news folders, e-mail rules and user settings with few clicks. True Image works fast both while backing up data and while restoring it. I like that program for its user-friendly interface and number of useful features. I thinl you'll like it to. | Rover (93) | ||
