Archiving is not a backup. It is not a way to duplicate the contents of a
PST.

Archive certainly does hand;e folder hierarchies if you configure it to do
so.

Since you decided to create a new PST, you didn't need to do anything to the
old PST. It is your backup. No need to create a copy of it. To move data
from the old PST to the new PST, you simply copy the data from the old to
the new, then close the old PST.
