How backup data in Outlook2003w/BCM?

[George]

I'm using Outlook 2003w/BCM, and wondered how to backup everything before I
uninstall/reinstall Outlook, so I get back to everything looking exactly the
way it was before the re-install.

(What cause this is...I have an underlying WinXP problem affecting the whole
PC, so I have to format/reinstallWinXP, and of course that causes me to
loose and have to re-install Outlook...but right now Outlook works ok, so
the data's still in tact)

In Outlook, there's a File > Business Database > Backup... but it says I
also need to backup "linked items."

So, what all needs to be saved/backedup? Can I just save the Outlook.pst
file... and manually paste that over the empty outlook.pst file after
re-installing Outlook?

Bottom line is, how can I get "everything" back, with least amount of
tedious work?

Thanks,
G

I don't know if BCM requires anything special, but for the rest of Outlook,
