Outlook Backup Utiltiy

I want to backup Outlook using the backup utility which I
can do in my User Administrator account of Win XP.
However, in two other User accounts, one set up as
limited, and antoher with Administrator authority the
Backup selection is not on the File menu. How do I get
it on the menu so I can backup a file which I need to
restore on another computer?

I tried exporting the personal file (pst) and I can't get
it to import properly. When I used the backup utility on
another computer and restored to mine it worked great.

I've seen this before but am not sure of the fix. However, note that if you
close OL, you can just copy the PST file to the location of your choice -
you could use a batch file or do it manually in Explorer. I'd probably go
the batch file route using something like robocopy from the resource kit. No
need to import/export; that generally causes more problems.

That said, I would also like to know the answer to the disappearing OL
backup utility issue per profile, so I'll keep an eye on this thread. ;-)

You say copy the PST file. Is there already a PST file
if I don't export one? Where would it be and what is the
name of it? I need further explanation on "batch
file"...don't know anything about robocopy. I did locate
an Outlook Backup in each user name and tried to copy one
and paste it in another folder and it didn't work.
Wouldn't paste.
