Copying .pst files is not a function of Outlook. Of course, perhaps you neglected to actually *close* Outlook before copying the file on which it would have an open handle if Outlook were left running. You don't have permissions to where you are trying to copy the file, or you are trying to write to read-only media. You never identified to WHERE you are trying to copy the file. For example, if your backup destination is an optical disc then you need to use burning software (in Windows or 3rd party) to "burn" the file onto the disc. This is a Windows issue. Ask about file copying in a Windows newsgroup. Pick the newsgroup that matches your Windows version; however, for Windows 7, go to http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/category/w7itpro.

Is Outlook closed when you do this? -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]
From: naguaramipana on 22 Apr 2010 12:12 Thanks V and B Yes outlook is closed I am using TC ( file manager utility) in order to copy the pst file from a mobile user into an external store HD to keep a copy of the emails file. 1) I though it was a read only problem but that is not it 2) I found out the external store drive used for this, was formatted to fat32, so I just went NTFS, so I will see if this problem goes away once the user comes back to the office. 3) other than that, I dont know what could be the problem Thanks a bunch for any help "Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: > "naguaramipana" <naguaramipana(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:C3646EAA-46BD-4B96-AC06-5775A99FCCA7(a)microsoft.com... > > > I have a mobile user, that has OL2007, she connects to the office using pop3 > > I have been trying today to copy the user default pst file to have a backup > > in our system but it tell me the copy funtion cant be done. it comes with > > the > > following > > > > cannot write path here > > > > Please remove the write protection > > > > can some one help please, thanks a bunch > > State exactly how you're trying to copy the file and where you're trying to > place it.
