backup outlook pst. file
Posted by pacman on September 24th, 2005



I'm working with XP home edition, I have installed office 2003, I want
to create a short cut key, were I can back up my outlook pst. File to a
different folder on my hard drive. I want to create an icon that I can
click and it will atomically just copy the file to a different
location.

Open Notepad and create a batch (BAT) file. It only needs one command:

COPY <path to PST file>\<your pst file.pst> <Path to destination folder>

Where the path is the actual folder structure. Save the file on your hard disk with a .BAT extension and create a shortcut to this BAT file.
