I recently installed Office for Mac 2011 onto a new mac.  I had used the software before on my old machine which was backed up daily using Time Machine.

I copied the folder called Office  2011 Identities in full to the folder called Microsoft User Data on the new machine.

When I opened Outllook, I discovered that I have lost all data since May 2012.  When I inspect the folder called Main Identity, I see it was last modified in May 2012, even though I have used it up until today.

Could it be that the database was not backed up since May 2012, even though Time Machine was doing daily backups of all files?

thanks
