Thanks, both of you. I think I am guilty of backing up files on too many
external drives (for protection), so I hope I find the right one. I thought
when you did the backup, from the add on from Microsoft to back things up,
that you gave directions for specific directories for each of the contacts,
mail and psp local file (guess that is the main file) to go. So, is this
info. still applicable when I use that add-on.

Hello. I thought I did, using the backup add on I downloaded from
Microsoft,
but the calendar I backed up, or so I thought, is not the latest one. I
have
my e-mail file and contacts file also backed up, so am hoping that works.
But meanwhile, the calendar on the internet is the correct one, so can I
download it back?

There is no "e-mail file" or "contacts file". In Outlook, everything - all
your mail, contacts, calendar, tasks, etc. - is kept in a single file. That
file resides on your hard drive. if you did not copy that file off-line prior
to wiping your disk, you have erased it all.
