Just curious, where is the backup command or download for it?

And, why isn't this feature included in Outlook for the last DECADE?
It seems to me that it's the single most important feature to have.
Anyone?

What backup utility are you asking about. You can export any item in
Outlook and you can save a copy of the .pst file at any time you want. Some
operating systems have backup facilities built into them so you would need
to look at your backup method.

System backup is important but that would be the responsibility of the owner
of the computer, not Microsoft, Dell or Gateway... System backup can be and
often is a personal thing where one person likes this brand of software and
another person hates the software. Personally, I'm now using Windows Home
Server to backup my 5 computers (3 laptops and 2 desktops) on my home
network and so far like it a lot. It conducts daily incremental backups and
weekly full backups of the computers along with an off-site backup every
week.

Because the primary use, and where the vast majority of Outlook instances
are, is in corporate installations where Exchange Server is used and backups
are made daily of the Exchange Server mailboxes.
The usage of Outlook by private individuals using non Exchange email
accounts has certainly up until recently been quite small in comparison...

For Outlook 2010 the utility hasn't been released/updated yet but
I suspect the old utility (link below) might work but I haven't
tried it yet as my current system hasn't got Office 2010:

<http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=8B081F3A-B7D0-4B16-B8AF-5A6322F4FD01&displaylang=en>

The old utility was for Outlook 2007/2003/2002 and I suspect 2010
needs to be added at the front.

Answers like the first 2 are the reason some people hate computers.

The ability to click on "File, backup" should NOT be a luxury, it should be
standard.

Sure I can hunt around for my .pst file, but this is 2010, I shouldn't have
to. I should be able to click on "file, backup" because, if everything in the
world were to explode tomorrow, I would still be happy if I had my Outlook
file.

And for the third reply, no, the free downloadable utility (from
microsoft.com) that was available for every single version of Outlook I have
ever used is NOT available for 2010, and the previous versions do not work.

Anyone else have a good answer? Developers or like minded thinkers need not
apply...
