I still can't find an EASY way to back up .pst files (ALL of them)

I used to delve into that deep path of folders where .pst are. And
some time ago I bumped into an option to change that path to an esaily
accesible c:\myteasuredpst but I reintalled and I can't find that
option to change the path now.

Today I tried the export option to end up with a prompt asking me to
choose ONLY ONE folder to back up but I want to back up all folders.

Too bad that MS put lots of -to me- UNNECESSARY hard to navigate
options, diary and 'you name it' in outlook but does to have an EASY
way to back up ALL emails ALL folders quick.

Thanks
 
You can put .PST files wherever you want them. To change the location of
your default .PST file, close Outlook and move the file where you want it.
When you reopen Outlook, it will complain it can't find the file -- point it
in the right direction. After that, all you have to do is make sure that
any .PST files you create go in the folder you have selected.

Easy way: close outlook, move pst, open outlook. When it whines, point it to
the new location. Not that IMAP and hotmail stores can't be moved.

Other ways: File, Data file management or Tools, Accounts... Default message
store .
