Here's how I do it:

ACCOUNT SETTINGS (Data about your mail and news accounts):

1) RegEdit -> HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Account Manager

2) Registry -> Export Registry File.

3) Save the file to a name like "outlook.reg".

To restore the account settings:

1) Right-click the .REG file and select Merge.

ADDRESS BOOK:

1) File -> Export -> Address Book (select 'comma separated text file').

2) Select the fields you want to export (give a full path name).

To restore the address book:

1) File -> Import -> Other address book (select the text file option again).

You could also try e-backup 1.4x from Inachis Software software. I've used it for quite sometime and it works well. Full version allows you to schedule backups on a regular basis.
