what is correct method to restore pst files to Outlook in win7 ?
Hi,
I copied pst files from the C drive address to a backup address., verified the backup. Restored PC C drive to a backup made a few weeks ago, used the outlook file route and found import option and pulled in the pst files, scary though as it asks where do I want the destination and I am pretty sure I chose the account the pst is for, trouble is I have two accounts, both same name non default is (1) suffix. result I saw emails brought up to date but file size doubled for the pst file and address book is empty ![]() close outlook, nuked the pst files and copy pasted them over instead, still address book empty, though now file size correct ! How should I bring in the pst files, why didnt my copy paste work ? I could revert PC to yesterday and thus to current email status and start again doing the backup a different way if that would be of use ? DBenz |
