Outlook Live and .pst files backup

[artist1855]

Hi,

I use Outlook Live in conection with my Desktop Outlook and I am quite please
with the service it provides. My question is the following: I want to backup
the .pst files but when I go to the folder that suposedly contains them (my
Computer / Documents & settings / User / Local settings / application data /
Microsoft / Outlook ) I do not find them. I see only an Outlook.nst document
that looks as if it is the one. Am I correct? Thanks for any help you may
provide,

nst or ost? Outlook live uses an ost and it only works with the specific
account - you can't open it using file, open like you can pst's. since the
ost is a copy of the messages online, there is little need to back it up.

Thanks Diane. I checked and it says .nst. Still you answered my question.
There's no need to back it up since all it's online.
