How to backup and restore Outlook

There is out-dated information on some of these pages, specifically with
regard to Outlook 2003 and 2007.

The main points to note:
1. Do NOT use the import/export function to move Outlook data from one
version to another - all you need to do is to copy the pst file, with
Outlook closed.

2. Do NOT paste the copied pst file into the default location - paste into
(for example) your Documents folder and then do File-Open-Outlook Data File
within Outlook.

It's not verbatim actually, I changed some of it.

And in any case it's information that's freely available in many places on

I just wish more people would find it instead of asking the same question
over and over.

Absolutely - just like the "operation cancelled refer to administrator" one
and countless others over the years...
