Personal Folder Backup add-in does not work

Question

When I installed Office 2010, it migrated my Outlook 2003 setup successfully and the Backup add-in appears on the Add-Ins tab.  It is also shows up as being active in the Manage Add-Ins page.  The add-in is set up to run every day, but when I close Outlook 2010, it does not run.  If I trigger the add-in from within Outlook, the normal dialogue box comes up, and lets me select "Save Backup".  But it still does not run.
I have tried disabling the add-in, removing it, and then re-installing it.  But it makes no difference.  Does it depend on any other add-in?  Has anyone else managed to get it to work?

Due to changes in the graphical design of Outlook 2010 and technical changes in its shutdown behavior, the Personal Folders Backup Add-in works a bit different than expected when compared to previous versions of Outlook.
Backup command
The options menu for the Personal Folder Backup Add-in is now shown on the Add-in tabs in the Ribbon;
The Backup Add-in “hides” itself on the Add-Ins tab in Outlook 2010.
Shutdown changes
Due to shutdown changes in Outlook 2010, the add-in will indeed no longer prompt you to backup when closing Outlook.
You can either
backup the pst-files manually, wait until an updated version will be released or apply the registry fix mentioned below.
When adding the following key to your
Registry, you’ll change the shutdown behavior of Outlook 2010 back to the shutdown behavior of Outlook 2007 SP2.
Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\Microsoft.OutlookBackup.1
Value name: RequireShutdownNotification
Value type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1
Note: If you do not want to edit your registry manually, you can also apply the reg-file in this
zip-download.
