We use 2010, so locally is the only option. But then again it is only for one person anyway.

On the MAC you don't have to backup anything. Since you are using exchange, all the data is on the exchange server and you just have to backup the server. The exception would be archive files. Just copy those to a server location and then backup that server.

Thanks folks, we actually need to back up the mail to a USB drive we hold. <br />
<br />
Serial, will your manual method apply to Office 2016?
</div>


<div>
The main identity will indeed get the mail, along with all the account information and related stuff. &nbsp;It is the entire Outlook profile, in essence. &nbsp;If you wish to set up the same user on another computer, with all the account info intact, copying the identity is the way to go.<br />
<br />
If, however, you wish to capture only the mail and have it portable, using the &quot;Export&quot; feature might be preferable.
</div>


<div>
It's as Tim says. &nbsp;The Identity copies all of the user's Outlook Profile, which includes all the settings. &nbsp;It should still work with Office 2016
</div>


<div>
Thanks folks! I appreciate the help!
</div>


<div>
Tim gave the simplest method for my needs and Serialband gave other good options

Hello! I have a user who set up an account with our Exchange 2010 server in Outlook 2016 for Mac. The user then imported their PST file (the user is transitioning away from Windows 7 Office). Normally I just take a backup of their PST file from Windows. How do I go about backing up the data on the Mac? Is there a file I can just copy to a USB drive like I would with the Window side PST file? Thanks!
