How can I save ALL of my Outlook 2010 configuration settings?

I would like to backup all of my Outlook 2010 settings, including:

1. Signatures
2. View configurations
3. Font settings
4. Any/all settings available under "Options"
5. And so on...

What files, directories and registry keys must be backed up to capture all this?

• Personal Folders file (.pst): %userprofile%\Local\Microsoft\Outlook.
• Outlook Data file (.ost): %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook.
• Personal Address Book (.pab): %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook.
• Offline Address Book (.oab): %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook.
• Navigation Panel settings (.xml): %appdata%\Outlook\profile name.xml.
• Registered Microsoft Exchange extensions (.dat): %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook.
• Rules (.rwz): %appdata%\Microsoft\Outlook.
• Print styles (Outlprnt with no extension): %appdata%\Microsoft\Outlook.
• Signatures (.rtf, .txt, .htm): %appdata%\Microsoft\Signatures.
• Stationery (.htm): %commonprogramfiles%\Microsoft Shared\Stationery.
• Custom forms: %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Forms.
• Dictionary (.dic): %appdata%\Microsoft\UProof.
• Templates (.oft): %appdata%\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates.
