Sorry for what has to be a stupid question. I just downloaded an add-in of
some sort from Microsoft to back up Personal File Folders (PST) (Office
2003, WinXP SP3) and let it install. Backing up my PST folders sounds like
a fine idea. Trouble is I can't figure out where it is! Is it now inside
Outlook and if so where? Is it a separate program I have to start, and if
so, where the %^&*! can I find it? Any suggestions?

Click to expand...

After you install it and then stop and restart Outlook, there should be a
"Backup" item on the File menu.
 
Thanks. It's there, all right! Is there a way I can change the location of
the backup from my hard drive to an external drive? After all, if the HD
fails, my backup will be pretty useless.
 
In the backup window, select Options, configure the backup location to point
to your desired location
 
Unfortunately, when I do so and click on Options the place where I should be
able to change the backup location is greyed out. Any idea where I can go
to fix this?
