[bcab] Backing up OE data

Hi Listers.  Can anyone help?  A recent near death experience in hard disc 
terms has refocused me on the need to back up data which I'm quite good about 
anyway but I've never been able to figure out how to back up Outlook Express 
folders.
If I try the export option under File in the menu bar I first of all get asked 
to ok the data going to Ms outlook or Ms exchange but when I ok this the export 
could not be performed because of an error initialising MAPI.  What does this 
mean?
I have a memory that all my OE folders exist with a DBX extension in a folder 
somewhere.  Would it simply be enough to cut and paste this folder, or the OE 
folders individually onto my back up drive?
Any knowledge welcome.  Thank you.
Regards
Tim Gebbels
