Outlook backups

[Guest]

I am aware of how to back up my pst files in Outlook 2000, however, I also
want to back up my signature files and my rules. Can anyone tell me where
these are kept so I can back them up also?

Thanks for any help.

This addresses only the .pst files. I already have them backed up. I am
looking for the locations and names of the other Outlook 2000 files such as
the signatures, rules, etc. so I can add them to my file backup and
synchronization program

Did you read the first article Hal quoted you, at Slipstick.com? The other
file types are listed there...along with where you can find them on your
system.

The poster is interested in his Rules backup. Slipstick has a ( ) notation
"for Outlook 2000 & earlier Ver" (he's 2000) while I haven't seen that limit
in other sites. Is that Ver limit true, and is that why I can't find Rules
Wizard " .rwz " extension in Outlook 2003 via Search ( *.rwz ) or Explorer
viewing OR Might He Have same "No .rwz Found" result?

In Outlook 2002 and later versions, the rules are stored in a hidden folder
in the .PST file. You can export your rules to another file if you are
afraid of losing them somehow.

For Outlook 2000 and earlier, the .RWZ file tends to be in a hidden Windows
folder, at least if you're using Windows 2000 or later. I believe the
Slipstick article does tell you the path to the folder you can usually find
these in.
