Outlook 2016

I use it for calendar and tasks, I don't need it for email.
In my calendar I have a number of recurring events that follow a lunar calendar. This feature is supported by Outlook desktop, but not by Outlook.com online calendar.

Thus my question: how to backup and restore OST files?
Microsoft's standard answer is "you don't need to", because Outlook will resync the data as soon as you connect to your account.
But that doesn't help me , because the data I will receive by resyncing will not be good. My recurring events will fall out on the wrong day next year, because Outlook.com calendar does not support recurring events that follow an alternative calendar. It puts them on the schedule of the standard calendar.

Presently. I am storing everything in a PST file, but for various reasons, I would like to switch to OST, if I can set up an acceptable backup solution.

Any ideas?
