I switched to Outlook 2003 about 1 month ago. I have
just discovered that my retrospect backup system has not
been backing up my new pst. I tried to copy it manually
but it gives me the message that it cannot be copied
because some part of the program is locked. Since it is
a new year, I want to archive the pst for 2003 but cannot.

I am new to this. Any quick advice?

Many thanks,
 
How are you trying to copy the file? Have you tried the Personal Folders
Backup utility available from Office Downloads?

If you close Outlook, ensure it is completely closed using Task Manager.
Kill any outlook.exe (and winword.exe) processes and then try the copy.
