I use my son's computer as my "backup". I copy my email mailboxes and My Documents folder (which has everything I really need in it) over to his computer over the network. If you have tons of pictures, videos and music downloaded, it could take numerous disks. My stuff doesn't take up that much space. With Outlook, you want to save the outlook.pst file. I backup my Turbo Tax files right after I finish up my taxes. Anything else can be re-installed or re-created. You might have to change your folder options to see the .pst file in Outlook because I think it's considered a hidden system file.
If you have Windows XP, it should be in C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
ETA: Your userprofile is basically everything in C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\
