There's no need to run any code. You can download a free tool from Microsoft
that will prompt you to backup on a defined schedule:

Hi,

I am new to this so please bear with me. Is it possible to create a macro
that would back up all folders to a destination folder on the desktop or a cd
burneron the closing of Outlook? In my work group, we are not allowed to
delete emails so i am looking for an organized method to save emails so
current folders can be purged on a monthly basis yet maintain a back up
copy.Can this be done?
Thanks
