In addition to Dave's helpful post,
you may also want to keep regular
backups of just your .pst file.

Pfbackup is handy little program from
Microsoft that makes this easy, and so
you don't forget to do it yourself.
Works with Outlook 2007 and Vista.

The Personal Folders Backup download creates backup copies of your .PST files at regular
intervals, in Outlook 2002 and later versions, making it easy to keep all of your Outlook
folders safely backed up.
