100% full backup of Outlook files - how?

[shiraz]

I am configuring my backup software utility to make scheduled backups of
important files and documents.
I need to enter a list of directories which the utility needs to backup.

My question is:

in order to make a 100% full backup of all Outlook files and settings, so
that when I restore them I will find a completely identical Outlook
environment as the one I am using now on my PC, which list of directories do
I need to copy to the external backup disk?

The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:
