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.
