I have:
Microsoft® Outlook® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2406 Build 16.0.17726.20078) 64-bit
I backup OUTLOOK Inbox and local folders by using the Open & Export way:
Open & Export à Import/Export à Export to a File
Like this.
The backups go to an external drive.
I deleted a backup file on the external drive named F:\OUTLOOK Backup – Inbox – 03-30-24.pst because I didn’t want to keep it around.
When I then opened OUTLOOK, it gave the error:
The file F:\OUTLOOK Backup – Inbox – 03-30-24.pst cannot be found.
To get around this, I copied a backup file and renamed it to the not found file.
OUTLOOK then opened normally.
Why is OUTLOOK looking for a backup file on an external drive? How does it know it exists? Or existed?
