Yes, providing you restore in the correct way

The backup.pst is just a copy of the primary pst, so it can be opened
within
OL

Thanks for this information. Can I assume that, in the event of a system
crash, I can just copy back the .pst file from the backup device and I'll
be
back to where I was since the last backup?

Thanks again.

The Backup is probably the MS OLBackup addin, it will show in the win
Add/Remove dialogue

Please forgive me for all these questions, I'm trying to get things
right.

On the File menu, there is a "backup" option. I don't recall whether
this
came with Outlook 2002 or if I installed it as an add-on. In any
event,
it
seems to be copying my .pst file to my backup device. But there also
seem
to be some other settings I need to be concerned about, under
Documents
and
Settings, that I should be backing up, too.

Is there a tool that will give me a complete backup? One I can use to
fully
restore my Outlook in the event of the system crash?

Thanks.
