You should be able to check the options in outlook for the where the data file is located, usually c:\docs&settings\user\appData\ms\outlook.... then copy and paste to another folder, but remember to go back to outlook and change the path.
Not sure if this actually works? Why do you want to change the location, if it is for backup purposes, then you may be better off simply exporting the file.

Check out instruction snippet below:
from http://www.york.ac.uk/services/cserv.../movingpst.htmClose down Outlook.
Open My Computer and select Folder Options from the Tools menu
Select the View tab and make sure Show hidden files and folders is selected. Click OK
Navigate to c:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\ Copy the files "outlook.pst" and "archive.pst" from there to your H: (My Documents) folder. Note: There may be similarly-named files which also contain a number. Copy these as well.
Right-click on the Outlook icon on the desktop and select properties
Click on the Data Files button
For each entry on the list corresponding to the copied files, select it and click on Settings
Outlook will complain that the file cannot be found, and ask you to locate it. Select the file with that name from the ones you copied to your H: drive.
does this work?
