Another trick if you are using Outlook 97 or 98 (works with all versions
actually) Outlook Express, etc. Download & install Karen's Replicator. I
have it set up to automatically back up my Outlook pst, My Documents folder
& several other folders that contain data I would not want to lose. I have
a folder on another partition on a second drive that I set up to be the
back up location. Replicator backs everything up for me automatically
every day, I don't have to do it manually. Karen also has a lot of other
really neat stuff on her web site. She used to write a column for Winmag
before it ceased publication. She also has a newsletter.
