Restoring form Outlook Backup files

[Guest]

I have installed Outlook Backup Addin to Outlook 2003 and backed up the
following files: archive backup.pst and archive.pst How do I restore these
files back to my Outlook pst?

You probably answered the question as posed. I went back to your suggested
source which states that "Restore pst-file
A backup is worthless if you can't restore it. " And this appears to be
the case to what happened here." The use of Outlook backup in my case
seemed to be unsuccessful as it appeared from my restoration that I did not
have the full complement of in boxes, sent items, addresses etc at the time
of making the backup.

Also an added problem underneath all those boxes the suggested restoration
mode shows a new archived folder.
1. If I manage to obtain a full restore I would like to have this as my
current personal folder.
2. If I obtain a new archived folder (which does not contain my complete
data at the time of backing up as happened here) how can I undo or delete
that folder?

Thanks
Dave

I'm not really sure what you are asking here. To begin with the
pst-backup-addin creates a file copy of the original pst-file so it contains
all folders.
Second, File-> Open-> Outlook Data File... will connect the pst-file as a
second folder list so you can verify its contents. You can close this folder
list through File-> Data File Management...
Third, to switch your default delivery location go to Tools-> Email
Accounts-> Next-> dropdown list at the bottom
