Microsoft Outlook is a personal information and communications
management program that is included in all editions of the Microsoft
Office suite. The program allows users to send and receive email and
maintain a to do list, a calendar of appointments, and a directory of key
business and personal contacts. Outlook is a very popular program, and
many home network users employ this program to handle their email
and other tasks.

O U T L O O K F I L E S

All your Outlook data is stored in a personal folders file. This is a file
with a .pst extension. If you have not changed the default name, this file
is called "Outlook.pst" and is found in this folder on your PC:

C:\Documents and Settings\<

user name

>\Local Settings\Application

Data\Microsoft\Outlook

where <

user name

> is your Windows user account name.

In addition to this file, Outlook places an Archive.pst file in the same
folder. This file contains all the old Outlook data that you have archived.

B A C K I N G U P T H E F I L E S

To back up both the Outlook.pst and Archive.pst files, select Email as
one of the common folders to be included in each backup. See
Chapter 7 for details.
