While you can manually backup and restore the qat-files of Office 2007 or the officeUI-files of Office 2010, Office 2013 and Office 2016, you can also force them to be stored within the roaming part of your user profile with a Registry modification. This means that when you are in a network with roaming profiles, these settings are not written back to the server upon logoff and only exist on that local computer. Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) and Ribbon settings are indeed stored in a location which doesn’t “roam” with your user account. I can backup and restore my QAT settings manually each time but isn't there an easier way similar like the rest of my Outlook configuration 'travels' with me? I can reconfigure it and when I return to a computer which I've already used, they are there as well so I guess they are only stored on the local machine. However, I noticed that my customizations to my Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) aren't there. Upon logging in, all my settings are there and Outlook works as is should. We're in a network where not everybody has their own working space with a computer but simply uses a spot that is available.
