Now as am new to outlook i dont know how to take backup of the same. Could you please help me know how can i copy Outlook Calendar ??
If you are using 2007 Outlook than it is a very simple task to do:
- First you will have to open Outlook 2007, now click on File and select Import and Export option.
- Here click on Export to a file and click Next.
- It will ask you to select the file type which you would like to save the backup.
- Note: If you just want to keep the file in Outlook format then you will have to select "Personal Folder File (.pst)." You can also select Microsoft Excel 97-2003 if you would like to save your file in Excel sheet or you can also select Microsoft Access 97-2003 if you want to save the file in Access.
- Once selecting the file format click OK.
- After you have done all these things you will have to click on Calendar in the next window.
- Click Next. Now select a location where you will like to save the file by clicking on Browse option.
- Just click on Finish option after you have saved your file to the selected location.
Hope this helped you out.
