Back up XP + email addresses to portable hard drive

[pete2444]

Hello

I have windows XP. There are instructions on the net to use NTBACKUP.MSI. Even though I downloaded the file the computer can't find the file.

Whats the best way to back up to a portable hard drive on a regular basis?

ALSO

I also would like to back up my address book to the portable hard drive.

Thanks Heaps

Outlook express

go to your address book in Outlook and Export them (addresses) to a file. You can than Import them to another Mail Client or overwrite the existing imported file with your updated one. I believe Import/Export is under Tools once you open your address book.

The file you need is labeled .pst
