Yes. Close Outlook and copy your Personal Folders file (type ".pst") to the
CD.

Copy the PST file to your hard drive, remove the "Read Only" attribute, and
use File>Open to open it for use again.

Brian , thanks for the help.

Where I can find the Personal Folder file pst.

When I asked you to use later you replied to copy the the
pst file to your hard drive. It is confused why I have to
copy again if the pst is already there in the hard drive?

Right-click on your "Personal Folders" root, choose "Properties" and click
"Advanced". The location of the file will be displayed in the "Filename"
field.

You said you wanted to copy it to CD. The whole point of making a backup is
to be able to restore it in case it disappears from your hard drive. As
long as there's nothing wrong with it, you won't have to use the CD-hosted
copy. If you do lose it from hard drive, you can copy it back from CD when
your hard drive is repaired. Backup often so as to minimize lost items.
