Hello, i'm using Outlook 2003 with personal folder backup add-on on Windows
XP pro SP2. I have in my outlook folders around 40 emails, most of them are
less than 1mb, but when I'm using backup, it creates files (or perhaps they
are already there?) that are very large:
archive - 279mb
Outlook0 - 420mb
Outlook0 backup - 541mb
(and other 2 files which are less than 1mb...)
How is this possible? Do I have archived files? (if i do, how do i delete
them?), but I still can't understand what makes everything so large.
And another thing, if I want to burn the file on a CD so I can load it after
formatting my computer, which one should i burn? (the "Outlook0 backup" file?)
Will this backup contain my emails, contact list and notes?

Thanks for the help!

Backup will create only the file you tell it to create and include only the
folder set you specify. I don't understand how you can be so confused.

Only you know that. If you have configured Outlook to perform achiving,
then of course you do. If not, then you don't. Look at what you set in
File>Archive and right-click on your individual folders, choose Properties,
then the AutoArchive tab to see if you set any folder-specific options. If
you don't want Outlok to archive, turn it off. You can then close Outlook
and delete the archives you've created.

Whatever one contains the data you wish to save.
