Backing up Email in OL2002

Hello, I need to do a full format and recover on my computer, and I want to
back up all of my mail folders, address book, etc. to a disk, so that I can
put them back in Outlook after it's reinstalled. How do I go about this?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I was able to search for the .pst files, it found 2, and I copied them to a
disk. I have completed the format and recover. Now I can't seam to figure
out what folder to paste them in to get it to work. Any ideas?

Click to expand...

They can be in any folder to which you have read/write access.
File>Open>Outlook Data File will open them (one at a time). And, when you
copy them to hard disk, make sure you remove the read-only attribute if you
copy them from a CD.
