If you are using Outlook Express, then:
C:\Documents and Settings\"user name"\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

The same folder also will contain the mail file if you are using office outlook.

The inbox for Outlook when connected to an Exchange server, is not located on the local hard drive, but is located on the exchange server itself. If you are using it to connect to a POP/IMAP server then the Inbox is located on the local hard drive and I believe it is INBOX.DBX. Either way you should be able to copy all the emails in the INBOX to a Personal Folder (PST) and then back that up.

Good luch
