outback.pst and restoring from an image

[outrigger]

Recently I did an image restore for an entire system, including Outlook 2000.

However the image was dated by months.

Made a backup of outlook.pst (and backup.pst) as of yesterday.

Can I manually replace the outlook.pst from the image with the newer outlook.pst?

Or must the Outlook import menu be used?

Note that the Outlook email folder structure has changed between the image verion and my new version.

(would rather not choose the overight existing messages...from my experiences)

yes you can overwrite the *old* pst with your newer pst.
