I get this message in my log:
11/01/2005 12:06:55 PM > File skipped, while in use: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst.
However, it's not 'in use' if I've closed Outlook and turned off my modem so email can't activate it? What do I need to do to backup Outlook then.

Has there been any answer to this? I have the same problem as Ted Sherwood. I exit Outlook before I run the backup, but I get this in my log:
"06/13/2005 12:17:35 AM > File skipped, while in use: C:\Documents and Settings\benallgor\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\outlook.pst"
Sometimes Outlook.bak is also listed as skipped.
I am using Outlook 2002 (10.2627.2625) on Windows 2000,. Ver. 5.00.2195, SP4 .
I have made a new job that just backs up Outlook, and this usually works after a few tries.
I s there some way to make sure the Outlook files will backup the first time?

It sounds as if another program is locking the outlook.pst file.
Are you using any Desktop search tools such as the 'Copernic Desktop Search', 'Google Desktop Search' or 'Blinkx'? I get the feeling these progs stop Outlook from closing completely. NB. They monitor Outlook so that new e-mails can be indexed as soon as they arrive.
Hope this helps!

You'll probably want to backup your Outlook Express e-mails & your address book (which holds your contacts). On your PC :
1. Search for *.dbx.
2. Note the location of these files.
3. Search for *.wab.
4. Note the location of these files.
5. Add these file locations to your backup profile within Zip Backup to CD.
6. Save the Backup Job & you're done.

I have finally gotten around this problem. In the folderC\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook I made a folder named bak. Now after I close Outlook before a backup, I move Outlook.pst and Archive.pst to the Bak folder. Then I move them back, and run the backup. Over the past couple of months it has backed them up every time (weekly).
