How to set Outlook files for backup using the Backup Tool?

[Mark W]

Using the Personal Folders Backup Tool in Outlook 2007 using Vista, I
highlight the top level folder in my "All Mail Items" list (labelled as
Personal Folders) and click File/Backup but under the direction "Save backup
copies of these personal folders files" the dialog box says "(No files set
for backup)." When I click on "Options," the next dialog box shows one
subfolder name with a checkbox to mark if you wanted to back up its files,
but not any others. There are a lot of other subfolders whose files I want
to back up, but they are not listed. I don't even recall how the one listed
folder came to be listed in that dialog box. How do you set up folders so
they show up in the dialog box where you check which files you want to back
up?

The Personal Folders Backup Tool backs up entire PSTs. It does no
back up individual folders. When you open the Backup tool and clic
Options, you should see each PST you have connected to the current mai
profile and can choose them, specifying the destination file to whic
the tool will copy the PST(s) for safe-keeping
