Sorry... This query was first posted in a Windows XP discussion group, then
cross posted here in the IE6 Outlook Express group. The Windows version is
XP Pro SP2 and the backup application is the included Backup Utility.

Normal Backup correctly backs up all Outlook Express .dbx files when the
Outlook Express box is checked (which causes all .dbx files to also be
checked).

Subsequently, Differential Backup (with the Outlook Express box checked)
does NOT back up any .dbx files after Outlook Express has modified mail
folders (i.e. the .dbx files).

Differential Backup depends on a file (or folder) being marked by a flag if
any change has occurred since Normal Backup. Is there something different
about Outlook Express files that defeat Differential Backup? Outlook
Express files are not on the excluded files list. Does anyone have a
handle on this problem? Thanks
