Railman5 Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Easy peaseygo to Note make sure that you can "see" all your hidden files.....my computer/your "C" drive/Documents and settings/"your" account name folder/Local settings (Should be a hidden folder)/application data/Microsoft/Outlook/Then the office data file this should be of a reasonable size.copy this to a pen or storage medium.reinstall your opps system and office apps.then create the outlook account again.when done just repeat the steps above and overright the file with the backed up one.you can do an import export but this is the best as it gets everything as before.do this all the time especially when synking between desktop and laptops.. hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjz Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 MS does have an auto backup feature for outlook. Do you want it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawan Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 (edited) You can use this Outlook 2003 Add-in Personal Folders Backup (a utility from Microsoft) to backup all your Outlook data to a folder specified by you, you can save this single file on a CD. I have a backup of my outlook, and it is more than 70 MB.Pawan Edited October 5, 2005 by pawan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
