Back up PST files onto CD or a network drive if you have it.
look up "create office data file" or simply "archive" in outlook help and it will walk you through the process.

Quite right.
The allocation refers to the space reserved on the Outlook server, and users can create their own data files to store as much as they like. You can link permanently to these within outlook and file your mail accordingly without the IT dept giving you grief.
BUT, as was already mentioned, place this folder somewhere that gets backed up, which is probably
NOT your c drive.

If your using something else like iceman, tough!
