BACKING UP CONTACT INFO - What is the FILE NAME

[Diesel]

My computer was having problems and I had to remove my
hardrive and put it in another tower and so I am in the
process of backing up all my data. I was trying to backup
my Outlook contact/address book but am not sure how to do
that? I can't open up Outlook anymore in the new tower it
is givine me some error message that its not setup for the
right user or something like that

So I was wondering if anyone knew the NAME of the file or
files that contains all that contact info for Outlook. And
how to I import that later on.

Thank you.

All Outlook data is in one file. Outlook has no address book. The file you
need to back up is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup:
