I have OL 2007 running on Vista - when trying to back up
pst file get the following error code:0x80070021 The process cannot access
the file because another process has locked a portion of the file.
Can anyone explain this please?

This is why Microsoft does NOT support the use of pst files over a
network......You also run the very considerable risk of corrupting pst
files
that are accessed over a network. Put the files onto a local drive, and
if
you need to have them on a network location for daily backing-up then
write
a script to copy them after Outlook has closed.

Eh? Where did the OP mention pst files on a network?

How and with what are you trying to make this backup?

From: Orland, Kathleen on 29 Apr 2010 09:10
Have you made sure that Outlook is actually not running when you perform the
backup? Check your Task Manager > Processes to make sure that outlook.exe is
not still present.

What method are you using to back up your PST file?

Here's an excellent method:

The entire website is excellent. You may want to bookmark it. It will answer
most Outlook-related questions that you might normally have.
