Hello , Backing Up Data On a Microsoft Exchange Server When Outlook information is stored on a Microsoft Exchange Server, it is typically backed up at the server. For more information on backing up or restoring information stored on an Microsoft Exchange Server, see your Microsoft Exchange Server administrator. If Outlook is being used with Microsoft Exchange Server, you can choose to have Outlook store information on the Microsoft Exchange Server or in a set of Personal Folders on your hard drive. Use the following steps to determine where Outlook currently stores its data. 1. On the Tools menu, click Services, and then click the Delivery tab. 2. Examine Deliver new mail to the following location. If the option contains the word "Mailbox" followed by an e-mail name, Outlook stores data in folders on the Microsoft Exchange Server. If the field contains the words Personal Folder or another name of a set of personal folders, Outlook stores new e-mail, contacts, appointments, and such in the personal folders on your hard drive. If your information is being stored in a set of Personal Folders on your hard drive and you wish to back up the data, see the section Making a Back Up Copy of a Personal Folder File source-brinkster.net
