I believe you have left out some details...

(like how often you want to backup, if you want it automated, if you want to

be logged in/out or it doesn't matter, etc...)

 

However you could copy/paste...

You could SyncToy...

You could setup an actual backup job with a program of your choice...

 

For Outlook Express - although the copy/paste will work with a later

import - you may even want to export (from within Outlook Express) on

occassion and copy those files instead.

From MS KB: How to back up and to restore Outlook Express data

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/270670/en-us

 

Outlook Express Tips, Tricks and Secrets for Backup and Restore

http://email.about.com/od/outlookexpressbackuphelp/

 

I have also changed the default location of where OE stores the .dbx files

(folders, address box, etc)

(this makes the directory path a little cleaner)

How to Change the Default Location of the Mail and the News Folders:

Then I use SyncToy to do my backups (.dbx files and other exported files) to

another hard drive.

Use backup software.

 

NT Backup

Stompsoft/Migo PC Backup (rebadged copy of Novastor's NovaBackup)

Acronis TrueImage

Do your own Googling on backup programs.
