Backing Up the Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks Folders Automatically
Outlook 2000
I have several questions regarding the Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks folders in Outlook 2000. First, what file stores the data in those folders, and is that file local or on the server (I'm connected to an Exchange server)? Second, is there a way to automatically back these folders to my personal folders? For example, could I create a My Calendar folder in my personal folders, and have that folder synchronize with the standard Calendar folder? The ultimate goal here is to make sure that data is backed up to a network drive in case of a hard drive failure. Obviously, if the data in the Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks folders is stored on the Exchange server, then making them synchronize with corresponding personal folders is a moot issue. On the other hand, if that data is stored locally, and there's no way to achieve the goal using folder synchronization from within Outlook, I could create a batch file to backup the necessary files. --Tom |

If you delivery location is the Exchange server, then all your items are stored on the Exchange server and not in any file. If your delivery location is a Personal Folders file (PST), then they're all store in the PST. Second, is there a way to automatically back these folders to my personal folders? For example, could I create a My Calendar folder in my personal folders, and have that folder synchronize with the standard Calendar folder? No. The ultimate goal here is to make sure that data is backed up to a network drive in case of a hard drive failure. Download PFBACKUP from Microsoft's Office downloads. -- Brian Tillman |

Thanks for the information. My delivery location is the Exchange server, so
I guess that I'm covered. --Tom "Brian Tillman" wrote in message ... Thomas M wrote: Outlook 2000 I have several questions regarding the Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks folders in Outlook 2000.
