I have Windows Vista Home Premium. I want to back up the complete Outlook
2007 including contacts, e-mail, personal folders etc. Does the automatic
back up take care of this, or do I need to do someyhing additional?
Thanks.

The PFBackup tool copies your PST file, which contains all of your Outlook
folders. It does not, however, backup your account information.

Account information is the data about your email address(es) and servers.
You are the one that mentioned "automatic backup", and since the PFBackup
tool
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=8B081F3A-B7D0-4B16-B8AF

is the most common, I assumed that's what you meant. If not, what
"automatic backup" do you mean? Outlook has no automatic backup by itself,
nor does Windows.

Outlook doesn't do an automatic backup. For information on backing up your
