All your e-mails, contacts etc. are stored in a Outlook-Datafile
(*.pst). It's usually named "outlook.pst" and it's stored in

C:\Documents and Settings\%Username%\Local Settings\Application
Datas\Microsoft\Outlook

To regular backup up your pst-file it would be recommending using
Microsoft's backup tool for pst-files [1]. It's free and easy to use.
