"no files set for backup" in Outlook 2003 Personal Folder Backup

  • Follow


Windows Vista32, Office 2003 Professional, PST Backup working until 9/15/09, 
set for automatic backup every 7 days.  Just discovered not working.  
Selected File/Backup, received "(no files set for backup)" and "No personal 
folders files are currently open", Addins shows installed and selected.  I 
have two different .pst files in correct location.  Used to be able to select 
both to be backed up.  Backup stopped working and I did not notice it.
Uninstalled/downloaded new version (v11.0.6024.0 dated 
10/24/03)/restarted/installed.
No change.  Reset addins registry cache.  No change.
Not sure what to try next.  Will continue to backup manually, but really 
like the Backup addin.

Within Outlook, File>Backup, does not the backup window open, allowing you 
to select the options?

> Backup windows opens.  Says last backup 9/15/09.  Initial box with text "Save backup copies of these files", it has "(No files set for backup)".  I can select Options and can change the days that set the backup period.  In box labled "Backup these files", I get a striing "(No personal folders files are currently open)".  In the box labeled "File location", the Browse button is greyed out so I can't even establish a target location for the backed up pst files. 
I suspect a registry problem, since everything else is working using both 
sets of Personal Folders, but I have no idea on how to fix.

Within Outlook, add-ins is the backup addin ticked?
