After furious head scratching, Rob asked:

| Okay, so in that case what's the best way to completely backup
| outlook, contacts and all messages including special folders and
| archive etc.? Would that be to simply copy and past archive.pst and
| Outlook.pst onto a new pc?

| "Diane Poremsky [MVP]"
|| No. Outlook uses the contacts folder in either your pst or exchange
|| mailbox.
