When I back up Outlook 2003 is it necessary to back up the .log and .bak
files in addition to all the .pst files.

The .log files are usually scanpst protocols; no need to backup.
The .bak files are backup files, which do not need to be backed up again
When backing up .pst files, make sure that Outlook is closed.

I have Outlook set to automatically back-up my .pst every so often upon
exiting the program. This has been working fine until the last few days. I
get the error message :Cannot copy Outlook: The process cannot access the
file because another process has locked a portion of the file." I also tried
a manual backup and got the same error message. Any usggestions?

Dear Judith m,
Sorry, I have no clue about how to solve that problem. Suggest you post in
Outlook General Questions. An Outlook MVP will probably give you the answer
straight away.
All the best,
Lawrence Miller

Hello again Judith m,
This is a follow up suggestion courtesy of one of the MVPs.
Google "microsoft.public.outlook." The first offering will be the correct
one. Just scroll down the page until you come to "microsoft.public.outlook".
Then ask your question there.
Hope this helps.

We never corrupt PST files when reading PST files. BackupMyFolder!
doesn't copy the file as MS Personal File Backup, but use MAPI
functionnality to copy items of the PST file

Since each version of Outlook uses different methods to store information
(much of it hidden), how can you ensure that you are actually providing a
valid backup?

Hello Russ
Sorry, I was unavailable.
The backup is done by copying items throw standard API provided by
Microsoft.
We can ensure that it is a valid backup, as the same way that
Microsoft ensure that the functionnality of archiving of Outlook
provide a valid archive !
