Explanation
A .pst file (Personal Storage Table) is Microsoft Outlook's primary data file format that stores all local email messages, calendar entries, contacts, tasks, and notes-including archived data. When a user archives emails in Outlook, the archived items are saved to a .pst file. To restore archived emails, you open or import the .pst file into Outlook. By contrast: .ost (Offline Storage Table) is a cached copy of a mailbox synchronized from an Exchange or IMAP server and cannot be directly imported to restore archives; .NK2 stores the AutoComplete nickname cache for email addresses; and .bak is a generic backup file extension not specific to Outlook data restoration.
