I followed the steps from the following MS article for backing up Outlook Express DBX files...

http://support.microsoft.com/search/preview.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q270670&GSSNB=1

It appears that the target folder I created per the instructions is linked to the OE local folders. My intention was to save/backup a snapshot of my inbox file.

Can I delete the target backup folder I created and just make a snapshot copy/backup of a given dbx file?
Thanks

Yes, you can just backup (copy) the individual .dbx folders for OE.

I periodically back up mine onto both CD and CD-R disks.

Should you need to restore a given folder, you can either simply copy it over the corrupted file in the folder with your OE files, or use the import wizzard from within OE.
