backup outlook 2000

[Guest]

I am trying to back up my Outlook.pst and when I try to copy it I receive the
message (I am writing in French, and I will translate it, so sorry for the
translation):
"impossible de copier Outlook: le processus ne peut accéder au fichier, car
un autre processus a verouillé une partie"
in English: Unable to copy Outlook: the process cannot access the file, as
another process locked part of it

The Outlook.pst is on my hard drive and I found its location.. No problem
for that

Please can you help

Is Outlook closed when you attempt the copy? It must be.

Thank you. My problem is resolved. My Outlook was closed but it was working
in the background. I had to close my computer and re-open it

Next time, just use the Task Manager. No need to reboot.
