Currently Running OSX 10.9.2

Office Version 14.4.1

I have a time machine backup which I have tried to restore. I saved this file to the desktop. Dragged it into Office 2011 Identities. Set this folder to default in the MS Database Utility and rebuilt it but the above error comes up.

I currently have a new Main Identity with nothing in it and would like to restore all my folders, mail, contacts, rules, signatures and everything else to it.

I have 1.07T available on my disk to perform task.

Please can someone help me to get all my mail back from backup.

Many Thanks DC

outlook for mac 2011 database

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
