I'm trying to backup to an external drive my contact Outlook .pst files. I get an error code

Beef 80070021 which says that the files are either locked by another program. I just put all these contacts on iPhone.  What should I do to fix this?

This problem is caused by a MS Outlook Add In which prevents closing Outlook. Add in that is usually responsible for cauysing this problem is one that search/indexing of the tool. The remedy is very simple:

(i) with Outlook open, go to Tools Menu
(ii) click on "Trust Center".
(iii) in the left pane, choose Add-Inns, and then near the lower part of the window, you will see a button that allows you to manage your COM Add-Ins.
"(iv) to ensure that the drop-down list is set to ' COM Add-Ins" and then click on OK
(v) select Windows 'Search Email an indexer' and then click 'remove '.
(vi) click OK, and then close Outlook.
(vii) re - open Outlook and run the backup. (The program will tell you that Outlook must close the first before saving). Everything should be OK.
If any problem contact me at * address email is removed from the privacy *.
I hope this helps.
