I don't know about the archive settings -- they may be included in the
..PST file, at least the folder level settings (the global settings will
probably have to be redone). Take a look at the following page for a
comprehensive article regarding Outlook data backup and restoration:
http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm
As for the offline files, make sure you read the section of the article
"offline folders file" and click the link in that paragraph before you
move any of these offline files, to make sure you're not going to lose
the data in them. (I think as long as the original Exchange profile is
active you're OK, but I could be wrong -- I don't personally work with
..OST files so I don't have experience with it.)
