You can create a new Archive at another location, you can also copy your
data file(s) to another location, or use the OL backup addin and backup to
another location.

All the above create/use an outlook data file, which can only be opened with
OL

I'm not sure how to back it up. When I highlight all the messages in the
inbox & right click to save or copy to another folder, all my options are
within Outlook. I can't paste it somewhere else.

How to backup and Restore OE
http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/backup/index.htm

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook
97/98/2000/2002/2003/2007 from the Office suite of products. Outlook
Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click
http://www.microsoft.com/communitie...px?dg=microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general
Good luck!

If you are using Outlook Express all the previous info is irellevent since
it applies to Outlook, a completely different program
Express is supported within the Internet Explorer groups

Outlook and Outlook Express are not the same. Ask in
microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general. If you want to learn how to back
up Outlook Express, visit http://www.insideoe.com/backup/
