Alternative way to backup Microsoft outlook in MacBook Pro

Hi,

I have a MacBook Pro 2010 model with OS X v10.8 Mountain Lion.My MacBook restarting time to time and need to backup my old outlook mails{ I cannot export(Outlook for Mac Data FIle (.olm))mail backup because of it's restarting}.

A quick backup method, I already dragged the folder "Microsoft User Data" from "Documents" folder to an external drive.

Is it("Microsoft User Data") possible or enough to restore my outlook mail once I repair my MacBook.?

Thanks.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8)

In MacBook pro, you firstly find the backup file location in harddrive. Generally, it is found at the location mentioned below:

/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2011 Identities/Main Identity/Data Records

After finding data record, make a backup copy in external device. Now you can start repairing your MacBook Pro. After repair, you can use backed up data for Outlook mail again.
