I'd like to backup all my email both emails received and also sent email as well as my contacts in Outlook 2007. Can someone tell me exactly how to do this as in what files and folders to back up, where they are etc?. I looked online and found a Microsoft PST backup tool :-

Will that suffice and backup all my email?.
I'd also like to do this for the email and contacts I have within Windows Mail.
Reason I'm asking for advice is that I'm sure the last time I did this I thought I had backed up what I needed ( the .pst files if I recall correctly ) but ended up with just the received emails and lost all my sent emails. That may have been a mistake I made but I wanted to check the exact procedure for doing this.
Many thanks in advance.
*EDIT* - Just searched the forums. Is this Windows "Easy Transfer" a better option?.
