The file you want to look for is named archive.pst. Microsofts outlook email program stores data in your document and files directory path. All your emails and contact information can be found here (just follow through the path to find your user name folder, then look for the Microsoft folder, then finally either Outlook Express folder, or Outlook folder, depending upon which email program you are using). The file named archive.pst will be found here. This contains all of your outlook archived email information, and you should save and backup this file regularly. If you are not archiving any of your mail, then there is no reason to backup this file and only the outlook.pst file should be backed up.
