The outlook.pst is the default data file, the archive.pst is the default
archive data file
If you need to access the archive, simply open it within OL - its just
another data store

Thanks. There is archive.pst and outlook.pst. The outlook one is bigger.
What is the difference?

Same way as you backup your other data

or use the free MS Outlook Backup addin, located on MS OL site

I have been using outlook for my business and basically store important
emails and attachments in it. What is the best way to create a backup
for
safekeeping?
