What Is Corrrect Way If Restoring Pst To Outlook 2010

Hi,

title should read of not if !
forum has no title edit option.

I copied pst files from the C drive address to a backup address., verified the backup.

Restored PC C drive to a backup made a few weeks ago,
used the outlook file route and found import option and pulled in the pst files, scary though as it asks where do I want the destination and I am pretty sure I chose the account the pst is for, trouble is I have two accounts, both same name, the non default one is (1) suffix.

result I saw emails brought up to date but file size doubled for the pst file, thats not right, and address book is empty.


close outlook, nuked the pst files and copy pasted them over instead, still address book empty, though now file size correct !


How should I bring in the pst files, why didnt my copy paste work ?

I could revert PC to yesterday and thus to current email status and start again doing the backup a different way if that would be of use ?
