I'm trying to use a simple folder copy as a nightly backup for the Outlook 2007
.pst file that contains all the mail, etc. But the copy operation results in this error on %AppData%\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst
file:
I understand that this happens because Outlook is open. So I'm curious if there's a setting or some other way to prevent it from locking its .pst
file?
(I remember Outlook Express
did not use to lock its data file, as I was doing the same to back it up.)
