Jocelyn Fiorello said:Yes, you can back them up. You didn't mention your Outlook version, so first
go to http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.asp for file locations for
Outlook 2003 and earlier, or click the link at the top of that page for
Outlook 2007 file locations.

restore when outlook loses it. Also - make sure Outlook is not listed in
Task Manager, Processes tab a few minutes after you close it. The changes
aren't written to the XML until outlook closes and this is one cause for
losing the folders. If it is running, you'll need to figure out why it's
running. See http://www.slipstick.com/problems/close.asp.

From time to time my Outlook crashes and all my Favorites folders
simply
dissapear and are restored the standard options! Where is the info
for
the
favorites folder stored? Could I save a backup of my favorite config
for
later restore?
Cheers,
MAB.
Diane Poremsky said:It's a hidden folder, you won’t see it unless you are showing hidden files
and folders.
Try pasting this in the address bar of windows explorer or Start menu, Run:
%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
