Re: Storing ALL outlook 2007 data on driver other than C:

System restore has no impact on data, it only resets system files, any data
is not a system file, so your assuption/premiss is incorrect
See win help for what system restore actuall does, or look on MS site

So unless your data backup application is flawed theres no point, since you
can include outlook data files in your current backup

Hello All,

I have installed Office 2007 on my both the machines with XP pro and Vista
Home Premium. I know that by default all Outlook data is stored on C:
Since I
use SystemRestore options in the OS, if I ever restore my system to the
previous point, I will lose all Outlook data after than point.

To avoid this issue, I plan to move ALL (I really mean ALL, emails,
contacts, Calendar, notes and whatever else that I am not yet aware of)
away
from C: [I plan to make Outlook folder on another drive which I can backup
often]

Searching on the web didn't lead to any conclusive results.

Any suggestions for complete resolution of my question are gladly
accepted.

Many thanks in advance.
