Instead of hiding outlook files, why don't you store them under
/documents/outlook, then a file for mail, calendar, contacts, and tasks (in
English)? That way they would get backed up. I just went through a
miserable "upgrade" from vista to win 7, it failed, had to re-install vista,
disk got wiped, and now, despite backing up documents and settings for all
users, my outlook files were lost. Also, dell data safe - local was also
lost, so there is no sense in using this product.

You dont lose any data if you backup correctly
If you dont know how to backup there are many web help articles and most
Backup software simplifies the process
 
By default the pst-files are stored in a subfolder of the Documents and
Settings (XP) or Users (Vista and 7) folder, so if you made a full backup of
that, then your pst-files were automatically backed up as well. Your (My)
Documents folder is a sub folder of that as well.

In Outlook 2010, pst-files are by default stored in a subfolder of your (My)
Documents folder.

You can always see the paths to you pst-files via;
File-> Data File Management...
