Question about backup
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. -- ----------------------------------------------------- Jeffrey Needle

Question about backup
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.

Question about backup
Not at all. Read the instructions he posted. You will learn that you must
expressly connect an Outlook profile to the data file while Outlook is running in order to use it. Just copying a data file with Outlook closed will corrupt the profile. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Jeff Needle" wrote in message ... Thanks for this information.
