In Outlook, there's nothing simpler. Close Outlook and then copy the PST to
another folder or, better yet, to another disk drive, if one's available.
All done. There are other files that can be copied for a more complete
restore experience (see the URLs below), but all the Outlook data itself
resides in the PST.
