"Unfortunatly you can't auto archive a single folder in Outlook. I am not sure if there is a third party application that will allow it.

According to this Microsoft document you can only change the folder settings but not AutoArchive an individual folder.

However you can do a manual Auto Archive, and switch of AutoArchive for all other folders except the calendar.

In Outlook 2007 you can do a manual Archive from the Mailbox Cleanup screen.

Tools
Mailbox Cleanup
Auto Archive

You can however export your calendar and then import it into your AutoArchive PST. You can then do a cleanup on your calendar by cleaning out the export file and then reimpoting it into your main calendar."

You can click File, Archive, and it will bring up a dialog/wizard, there will be option buttons, choose "Archive this folder and all subfolders" and the folder list will become active listing all of your folders. Then you can browse the list of folders and choose which folder you want to archive. Then you tell it where to archive to, and archive. Calendar is an option.
