Just loaded Office 2007 Beta. Been using Outback to back up Outlook. 2007 is
now unsupported as is Office 2003 back up tool.

Any suggestions

Just regularly create a backup copy of your default PST file, archives and
any other PST files you might use.

The free Personal Folders backup tool from Microsoft is also supposed to work with OL2007.

Thanks. I had and saw way too many issues with that to recommend it. That
was a while ago - I might try it again.

Will this also back up signatures, contacts, calendar data, and account
settings ?

No, as the name implies, that tool backs up Personal Folder .pst files only. Other backup tools are listed at http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm#tools

If that is the 160 KB file "pfbackup.exe", it doesn't work for me with
Office Pro 2007. After installing Office Pro 2007, I tried to install
pfbackup, but it refused, stating that I did not have a copy of Office 2000
or 2003 on my computer.

Do you know which registry keys are required to be backed up to enable full
restores of e-mail accounts, signatures, stationey, etc. or any other
folders, besides where the .pst files are located?
