How do I backup my Outlook files and restore on another machine.

[mman74]

I need to backup my Outlook files and restire them on another machine. This is probably a really common question that some of you may have answered a hundred times. Thanks very much.

Oh yes - this is Outlook 2000

THIS HAS WORKED IN OUTLOOK 97 - I HAVE NOT CHECKED IT WITH OUTLOOK 2000

Make copies of your OST and PST files (as well as any personal files- details of which you can find in your profile setup).

Copy them to the second machine, recreate your profile and point the details to the files you have just copied over.

Start Outlook.

Hello,
You could go to

http://www.ajsystems.com/

and download a program called OUTBACK Plus (utility is designed to make it easy to create a backup or archive file of your Personal Folder Information from Microsoft Outlook™ 97, 98, 2000 and ).

Enjoy

What we do is have all out outlook users store their personal folders on a network server that is backed-up by the network people each night.

The outlook desktop client simply points outlook to the .pst file on the server.

This seems to work quite well and adds no discomfort to the end user.

Will supply instructions if requested.

Much Luck
