Outlook 2007 PF Backup Add-in

[Guest]

In Outlook 2003 I used the Personal Folders Backup add-in to periodically
back up my .pst file. According to the Microsoft website
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...3a-b7d0-4b16-b8af-5a6322f4fd01&DisplayLang=en)
the PF Back Up add-in tool works for Outlook 2003/2002. I downloaded it and
tried to use it in Outlook 2007, but it does not appear in the drop down menu.

Does a PF Backup add-in exist for Outlook 2007?
If yes, where?
If no, what is the easiest way to backup a .pst file in Outlook 2007?

The same applicationworks in all versions. Did you install it and then restart Outlook?

Yes.
I closed Outlook 2007.
Installed the PF Backup Add-in.
Restarted Outlook 2007
However it is still not listed in the File menu (and I could not locate it
anywhere else) like it was in Outlook 2003.

I am still running Microsoft Exchange 2003 as my e-mail server. Would that
make a difference?

What else should I try?

Thanks.

I am happy to report the PF Backup Add-in is now working just fine in Outlook
2007.

However I had to:
Close Outlook 2007
Sync with my Exchange Server 2003
Close my connection to the Exchange Server
Reconnect to the Exchange Server
Restart Outlook.

Simply closing and restarting Outlook was not enough. So it must have had
something to do with Exchange Server 2003 and as well. Disconnecting and
Reconnecting to the Exchange Server seems to have solved the problem.
