Outlook Duplicates

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if there is a simple way to determine if there are any duplicates in the Outlook data file (Outlook.pst)? If there are, can they be removed easily?

Also I notice that the Outlook.pst file is significantly larger than a backup.pst file that is created when an export is performed of all Outlook data! Do these two files not contain the same data (more or less)?

Regards Farmer Jo
