Gentlemen/Ladies:
I have been a long time user of Outlook and have been using this 2007 version since around February of this year. Several days ago, the rectangular "buttons" on the left side below the tree (Mail, Calender, Contacts) sort of stopped working in that when I select Calender and go back to Mail, the main right hand preview panel continues to display the calender and the item "Calender" in the tree on the left is highlighted - only when I use the mouse to click on "Inbox" at the tree, would I be able to view my Mail items. I have no idea what that was the case and, while trying to "fix" it, I had inadvertently gone way down on the tree to the Archive Folder section, right clicked on the Archive Calender, and deleted it from the pop up menu when I right clicked on Archive Calender.
Outlook is ESSENTIAL for me. Everything I do is on it to keep me on track. The Calender is important for me as it is almost a diary for me to remember what I did years ago - quite effective for me. May I kindly as the good folks here how I might be able to retrieve my Archive Calender? The item on the tree (under Archive Folders) called Archive Calender is no longer there. I'm quite distressed that I no longer have access to my calender past around 6 months ago.
As a related question, I'd like to ask how best to back up my Outlook (everything, including Calender, Mail, Contacts)? I do use Acronis to do automatic back up but whenever i look at those Acronis "automatic back up" files for Outlook, they do not look familiar (they have names like 2007_11_10..._.TIB). I do not know what ".TIB" files are and how to really "use them" to either open up or to view. When I had my Archive Calender still visible on the tree, it was pretty easy whenever I needed to view older items: merely click on the words Archive Calender on the tree, then the right hand side's Preview area would show the older items, sometimes in a different shade of color to differentiate from the "regular" current calender. I can look for whatever event or appointment, then close it and go about my daily business.
Sorry for combining 2 different issues in one post, but they are quite inter-related. (Accidentally deleting Archive Calender - how to retreive it? And, how to effectively back up Outlook 2007 - everything, from Calender, to Contacts, and Mail).
Thank you very much in advance! Happy New Year!
