Backup

[Mark]

I am trying to find out if all my contacts as well as all the information on
my calendar is backed up when use the "backup" under the File tab? It is
telling me that my personal folder is being backed up but I am not sure if
that includes the contacts and calendar. Thanks

There is no "Backup" under the File Tab in Outlook. You must be using some
add-in that you failed to specify, which makes your question impossible to
answer.
Just follow the standard procedures posted here for backing up Outlook data:

If you're referring to the "Outlook Personal Folders Backup" add-in utility
that Microsoft supplies, then, yes. All your data (Calendar, Contacts, Notes,
e-mail, Tasks, etc.) is stored in one file and the PFBACKUP utility simply
copies that file once Outlook closes. You could do that yourself without any
add-in if you want.

Thank You, I did install the backup utility from microsoft. I just wanted to
double check that it backs up both contacts and calendar.

Thanks Again

Again, since all your Outlook data is in a single file, it backs it all up.
