Outlook 2007 backup is taking longer & longer

[James Franko]

Hi everyone, I have Oulook 2007 and have been manually backing up the files
on shut down. I also have noticed that the backup period is taking longer and
longer, currently it's at 11 minutes. I have deleted old emails out of the
deleted folder, sent folder etc, but the backup still seems as though it
growing. I use Outlook as my main email source and keep all my contacts and
calendar events in it also. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Happy
Turkey Day and hope that your bird is moist.

As your pst-file gets larger, the backup will take longer as well. If you
think you've got a lot of white space in your pst-file, you can try
compacting it;
