Backup Outlook

[Gerard Sanchez]

Hi,

Recentlly I backup(ed) my Outlook.pst file (it went well).
However, when I try to test that backup by opening the file in Outlook
(File-->Open-->Outlook Data File)
I get the error "Outlook.pst is not a personal folders file"

I used Windows Backup tool to backup .pst the file.
What an I doing wrong here/

Thanks alot

Gerard

Obviously, then, it didn't go as well as you thought.

Was Outlook closed when you did this? Why not just copy the PST to another
location with Windows Explorer or download PFBACKUP from Microsoft?
