cannot locate Outlook pst file in backup folders

Thread needs solution

I have regularly run full backups on 2009 version and my laptop was stolen last week, but the external hard drive with back ups is still with me. old OS was XP and new is Windows 7 on replacement laptop. I do not want to recover everything, my emails and contacts are the priority. I've downloaded trial version onto new laptop and used explorer to open the .tib file in order to find pst files. I have opened backup/c:/documents and settings/specific user/application data/microsoft/outlook but there is no archive folder or pst files here. Will these have been backed up, and if so, where can I find them?

It depends upon what sort of backup you created. If you created a full disk backup, selecting the checkbox for the entire disk (not just individual partitions), then everything should be there. Your PST file would be somewhere in there.
