Next, you need to specify a location for your backup file, and also assign a file name (which always ends with “.pst”!).

Depending on the size of your e-mail inbox and the speed of your hard drive, the backup process can now take a few seconds to a few minutes.

Your saved file can now be found at:
C: / User / YOUR USERNAME / Documents / Outlook files

In the following dialog boxes, select the desired file for the backup import.
