How can or what is the easiest way to back up all my calander,task,email
adresses, and emails. I need to re format this weekend and want to be able
to save all of my data. How can I do this?

Save your PST file to a CD. If you have a large Junk Filter file, then also
copy that. (Do a search for "Junk Filters.txt" - without the quotes). You
may also want to export your email account settings. (Tools-Accounts and
highlight the account and click on "Export")

You can use the Personal Folders Backup feature to archive your email. You can find more details at the following location.

This should solve your issue. If you still want to copy the backup file to your CD, here is additional information.

The back up file usually has the extension .PST and depending upon your settings it may be hidden.
The default directory for this file is %windir%\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
If that is the case, please do the following.

Open "My Computer"
Click on "Tools" menu
Click on "Folder Option..." menu item
Click on "View" Tab
Under the "Hidden files and folders" select the "Show hidden files and folders"
And, click the "Apply to All Folders" button in the same tab

This .PST file can be copied to a CD if you want.

I am closing this issue as resolved. Please let me know if this does not work for you.
Thanks.
