This is a very simple question but difficult for me! I am using outlook as a
quick filing system for emails. It is too important to lose and I would like
to back it up. Can I do this with a memory stick?
 
You can use a memory stick (if its big enough) - but it is a somewhat
unusual, relatively expensive, and rather volatile medium for a backup - far
better to use CD or DVD.
 
You answered in part. Thanks. I actually want to know HOW to back it up.
i.e. how do I get it from the computer to CD. I also want to use something
that I can copy on to time and time again. Is this possible?
 
You should post your question in an Outlook NG.

I'm not entirely sure what you don't know ...

In Outlook, from the Menu, Select File > Data File Management
Select your Outlook PST (probably the only entry in the list)
Click on Settings...
The name and location of your file will be shown in the Filename box

When you know what and where the file is, you can copy it anywhere you
like. You can use Windows to copy to memory sticks, zip drives, etc. Use
your favourite CD burning software to put it on CD - use CD-RW discs if you
want to be able to reuse them - although I prefer to put backups on
non-overwritable CD-R discs, which only cost a few pence each these days.
 
Thanks a lot. I am clueless about the technical side. I can use my laptop
at a basic level and am learning. Love emailing etc but business is
demanding me to use computer in a more sophisticated way. Thanks so much for
your patience. Amalouba
