What kind of problems have you experienced with SyncToy? As for backing up (closed) PSTs, you can tell your users to close Outlook before they leave. Then schedule SyncToy to run afterhours, say 8 p.m. There is even a link on how to set this up under SyncToy's Help.

Robocopy is more robust, even with its PITA switches. But IIRC, neither will sync an open PST, and even a closed PST stays untouchable for 30 minutes after closing. How are you going to make the users close their PSTs, and how are you going to make the sync program wait half an hour after the closing? > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Alex Alborzfard > Sent: Wednesday, August 23, 2006 7:18 AM > To: exchange at intm-dl-sparklist > Subject: RE: PST backup > > Thanks, this looks promising.
