I know in order to back up outlook what I need to do is save a copy of the
file or files with the extension *.pst.
Where are these files located. I see outcmd.dat 2kb, outlook.fav25kb,
outlook.srs 3kb, and extend.dat 2kb.
I looked in folders view and was not able to find anything checked that
would hide and extension.
I think I read that in order for *.pst to show you had to have something
scheduled in Outlook, I do.
What am I missing?
