Thanks all of you for your suggestions but this is the one which works a
treat. That's the problem when you don't get manuals anymore and you have to
scurry around a on-line help file.

I lways found that someone else has ahd the same problem and worked out a
way to solve it.

> First of all find out where your Outlook files are. This is done by
Tools/Options/Maintenance and choose the Store Folder button - this is where
you're Mail files are.
>
> I have transferred mine to my normal data drive - I backup only my data
once a day, my system drive I only back up once a month. Having the email
files on the data drive means they automatically get backed up with the rest
of my data.
>
> Having identified where your mail files are you will see a collection of
.dbx files with the same names as your email folders. You can add these/that
folder to your backup list.
>
> When my mail files start to get too big for a convenient backup time/space
I move messages to A_folder i.e. Archive_Personal is an archive folder for
my Personal emails. I then copy the A_folder to a CD or other 'offline'
device knowing that if I need to get at my archives all I need do is copy
the 'real' A_folder back to the Outlook folder. I then delete the contents,
not the folder, of A_folder from within Outlook. Warning, don't add anything
to the original A_Folder in Outlook in the meantime as this will be lost
when you re-introduce the archived one.

> Let me know if this helps or you want more advice. Do you back up your
Address Book also - now finding that is a problem;-)

> Thanks - I have a small home network - 3 computers.

> I back uo all of my data files to a removable hard drive on another
machine as a matter of course. Also important files like my family history
records and book etc are burned onto a CD-R/W.
>
> The problem I have is I do not know how to save, transfer e-mails
messages from Outlook Express - or Outlook - to the hard-drive and then
return them after a full system restore. I have lost them - again!!!!
>
> Any advice greatly appreciated.
