OK, then what you need is two separate Outlook profiles, each with a
different email account. This will create two different Personal Folders
(.PST) files - 'Control Panel|Mail|Show Profiles|Add'. Backing up is a
simple matter of making a copy of each .PST file on some regular basis; be
sure Outlook is closed when doing this. Should you need to restore, open
the copied .PST file using 'File|Open|Outlook Data File', drag back anything
you need and drop it into the default .PST file for that profile.

Two different email accounts, one on each machine. The goal is one
Vista machine running Outlook 2007 with both email accounts contained
within, but not melded into the same inbox/folder structure.
