How to backup and restore recurring outlook calendar events?
There seems to be no way to export recurring events from calendar. You can
export/import a flat csv or excel file of calendar events, but when it comes to getting dynamic information from Outlook's calendar it's nonexistent. |

And what are you doing with this data outside of Outlook? Does that matter? I bumped into this a few times, the first was when I wanted to export a subset of my calendar to an external scheduling tool in CSV format. The same problem reared it's head when my patience with some unrelated design flaws in Outlooks' calendar system finally annoyed me enough that I moved elsewhere. |

I got around this limitation by synchronizing data to a PDA, then to my final destination from there. |

How to backup and restore recurring outlook calendar events?
How does Microsoft expect you to properly backup your Outlook if you can
backup your recurring events? That's ludicrous. It's funny, most of the discussion about this subject is about exporting recurring events from Outlook to Google's calendar. |

@ Dave Warren
Yay! That worked. Active Sync on a my new computer imported the recurring events. How wacky that Microsoft Outlook has to make it pain to backup one's calendar. |

"Dave Warren" wrote in message ... Does that matter? Yes it does. If all the OP wants to do is make a backup, then exporting is NOT the way to do it. |

How wacky that Microsoft Outlook has to make it pain to backup one's calendar. I suspect it's a case of vendor lock-in, and a lack of real concrete CSV standard for defining recurring items and exceptions since this really requires iCal/vCal or something similarly more complex then CSV. However, where there is a will there is a work-around. |

Just make a copy of your PST. See this: http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/backupandrestore.htm -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
