Creating a backup of an OST file to PST on Mac can be done either using manual methods or automated methods.
Manual Method Open Outlook: First of all, start the installed Outlook program on your Mac.

1. Select the OST File: Go to Inbox or any other folder where the emails you wish to backup are sorted.
2. Export Emails: In the menu bar click on the File tab and choose Export.
3. Choose File Format: From the prompts select Outlook for Mac Data File (.olm) and continue to save your information.
4. Convert OLM to PST: Since there is no direct exportation to a PST file in Outlook you will need to work on some conversion tool to convert the OLM file into a PST file.
