 I'd like your opinions on backing up the Entourage database. Mine has

several versions.
 What approaches do you take?
Just get the MUD (MS user Data) from documents, duplicate it  A DVD

more data or you must prune the unimportant. Paul Sweeney
  That is what I'm doing now. I was looking for a more incremental way 
of doing the backup. For example, I might get 50M of mail a week, and 
90% of it is transient (i.e., read and trash). Since the MUD folder is 
~1G, I do a 1G file backup to (potentially a new) DVD-R every week.
