backup 2000

[Bob]

I exported all my personal folders from Outlook 2000 to
one .pst file. Then when I try to open that file to be
sure everything is there, a new email message appears with
the .pst file as an attachment.
How can I know my backups are working?

Thanks!

Open the file in Outlook by using File-> Open-> Outlook Data File... browse
to the location of your pst-file.

Make sure the file isn't read-only (like on a CD or when the file property
is set to "read only") or opened/linked to any other program as Outlook
needs full access to the file.

I hope this helps!
