Where is the Outlook .pst file located?

Using Windows XP, Outlook 2002

Two Questions:

Can someone tell me where the main .pst file for Outlook is located in
Windows, so I can back it up onto a remote server?

If there are several folders containing emails, dodes each folder have
to be backed up separately, or can all emails be backed up by backing
up one .pst file?

Thanks,

In Outlook, right-click on Personal Folders in the navigation pane, choose
Properties. Click on the Advanced button and you will see a box that tells
you the location of the pst file.

ALL your Outlook data is held in the one pst file.,

Please tell us the version of the application you are asking about,
your OS, Service Pack level
and the FULL contents of any error message(s)

Here's what I did:

-- I went to the Folders List.
-- Right-clicked on "Outlook Today - [Personal Folders]".
-- Clicked on "Home Page" tab.
-- In the address box, it shows the following:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\1033\outlwvw.dll/
outlook.htm

The probelm is that it's not a pst file. Where'd I make a wrong turn?

Thanks,

Don't click on the Home Page tab. On the general Tab down at the bottom
there's an "Advanced" button...
