How to restore an outlook 2007 address book from backup using Symantec Backup Exec 2010

This is probably more an Outlook question but what the hey! 

I have no idea what file I need select in the restore job to restore an Outlook 2007 address book.

    Hi NILA<

     

    Just be aware that when restoring either the entire IS, or individual items, BE will automatically stage the IS to disk temporarily while doing the restore. THe default location is C:\Temp, so you need as much space free as the IS is big!

    If you don't have enough space, you can go to Tools --> Options --> Exchange and make the change to another drive with enough disk space.

    If your restore fails, consider staging to disk manually yourself. Once on disk, it becomes a lot faster to restar the process if you need to. If you don't know how too, check the link below and read up on how to do it...
