backup Outlook 2007

[Guest]

I am wondering how to backup my inbox, contacts, calendar, etc. in Microsoft
Outlook 2007. In Outlook 2003, I simply exported the *.pst file to a safe
location and then burned a copy of that to a CD/DVD. Can I do the same for
Outlook 2007, or is the procedure different now, beings 07 has all the new
XML elements in it? I am not finding a clear answer on the web, so I thought
maybe someone here could help me. Thanks for any info!

You can do the same thing but do NOT export the pst file. Just close Outlook
and copy it. When you use the Export function, Outlook still has read/write
access to the pst file and it could very easily get corrupted.
