Storing Outlook data in a different directory

Apologies, as I know this has been covered in the past, but I've been unable to find it using the 'search' function.

I'd like to store my Outlook data in a more easily backed up location than in its usual place in 'Documents and Settings'. i.e., to make the new location the permanent storage place for messages and the address book. This is very easily done in Outlook Express, (at least moving the message storage location), but not quite so straightforward with full Outlook.

Can anyone tell me how to do this?

I'm not looking to do a backup in the new location, (I can see how to do that), but having the working Outlook file, which is updated every time I send and receive an email, located in another directory than C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Local Settings\Applications etc

Thanks in advance.
