Hello algalord

Welcome to the Comodo Forums

I do not use MS Outlook myself but Comodo Backup will back up .pst files when you find them.  They are hidden I believe.  Maybe someone else who uses Outlook can help me out here.  In the meantime here is a link to a tutorial on Outlook Backup to help you locate and backup the files. http://www.sitedeveloper.ws/tutorials/outlook.htm

There are a couple things that may be of interest to you.

First, there is an add-on for Outlook that will create daily backups of your PST files.  You can designate the location to save them; I send mine to a folder in My Documents (since I'm backing up My Documents this makes sense to me).

Second, there is a utility for MS Office to create a backup of all your Office settings.  This won't backup your PST files (at least, I don't think so) but it will create a backup of all other settings/preferences/etc, which can be handy if you've tweaked all your menus & toolbars.

Hope that helps,
