If you cannot find any dbx extensions in your backup file then
it is likely that you did not back up your .dbx files.

This is really a question for an Outlook Express group, which is
where you will find the best OE experts. I would expect to see
a set of folders like these:
Calendar.dbx
Deleted Items.dbx
Drafts.dbx
Folders.dbx
Inbox.dbx
Outbox.dbx
Sent Items.dbx

Note that a dependable backup process must include the following steps:
1. Create the backup procedure.
2. Perform a full restoration.
3. Test the restored data.
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 twice each year.
5. If this is an automated process, send yourself a copy of the
backup report once every week.

Many people limit themselves to Step 1.
