We've developed a tool called Aid4Mail that can save your Outlook 2003
messages directly into highly compressed ZIP files, a format natively
supported by Windows XP. Attachments are stored in a separate folder within
the ZIP files, allowing easy extraction, and mail folders are stored in a
non-proprietary mailbox format that most mail clients can read, guaranteeing
compatibility with future systems.

In one of our tests, the PST file was 1.05 GB. When this file was copied to
a ZIP file using traditional methods with highest compression, the resulting
file archive was 829 MB. When that same PST file was archived with Aid4Mail,
the resulting ZIP file with all messages and attachments was only 350 MB
large. This should help you save disk space.

You'll find more information about Aid4Mail and a download link on the
following Web site:

You can get and install Personal Folders Backup from Microsoft. This only
creates a backup copy of your .pst file.

You could read one of the many knowledgebase articles provided at Microsoft
huge support site (http://support.microsoft.com), like
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=287070.

There are 3rd party utilities available to do the backup for you. However,
some tend to omit exporting the rules (just like the above KB article misses
it). Go into the Rules Wizard and use its Export option to save your rules
to a .rwz file; otherwise, you'll lose them in a restore or migrate.

Besides the backup tools (which usually only backup the data), try using the
MS Office "Save My Settings" wizard utility
(http://support.microsoft.com/?id=312978).
