Windows calendar files

I recently lost all my non-recurring appointments in Windows Calendar. Can
someone tell me what files are associated with the Windows Calendar? Each
time I search for files, the only one that displays is the wincal.exe file.
Basically I want to know where the appointments are stored so that I can
backup the file in the future.

Thanks for any info you can provide

I know and hope a more knowledgeable poster will chime in, but I wanted to
get you pointed in the right direction. (I had the same question a couple
months ago, but no one replied.)

Anyway, think iCal, as in Internet Calendar, I believe. Search for file(s)
with the extension .ics -- something like [User Name].ics. As far as I know,
that's how Windows Calendar stores its appointment data. That's the one file
I make sure to back up (by simply exporting it within Windows Calendar).
Works every time for me.

Is that correct, everybody?

My Windows calendar data files are in there, and yes, they are ics
files. Happy huntin' :-)

Thanks for the info about the ics files. I was assuming that was the
extension but I was also hoping there was someway to recover the appointment
data. I'll know now to make copies of the .ics file. Appreciate your
responses.
