Hello, I'm getting frustrated and out of ideas in this procedure: I make a
backup in one computer where my calendar it's ok. When I try to restore the
backup in my office computer, the dates of some (random) events are changed
in time. I can't figure out how to make exactly as the one I use in Home. Can
anybody help me? The procedure I use is this: File, Import and export, Export
to a file, export. In import is almost the same but File, Import and export,
import, etc.

Never import a native Outlook file - the results are what you see. Simply
open it in Outlook - File->Open->Outlook Data File.

What version of Outlook? Never export to or import from a PST. See
