Dear Brian
I had a huge struggle backing up my Outlook on my last computer, but
eventually somehow managed to get it to update regularly. Although I have
something called outlook backup (on new laptop, documents, vista) which i can
presumab;y copy or send to external drive, I don't know how to update it
because I don't know where it is. Is there an MVP website for Outlook, as
with Word?

why can't you import a pst file? Isn't that one of its purposes
to be able to back-up and retrieve files if needed?

Exporting and importing are for changing between Outlook and non-Outlook
formats, not for backing up. You don't export a Word document to a Word
document, do you? Backing up a PST is EASY. With Outlook closed, just COPY
it.
