So - how much mailbox size do you give your users? And do you give them the opportunity to burn their PST's to CD just in case?
Finally - who are you to judge what's important and what isn't? Do you do their jobs, as well as your own. Darcy -----Original Message----- From: David N.

I don't back up PSTs. Period. Either its in their mailbox or it is not that important. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:bounce-exchange-224131@;ls.swynk.com] On Behalf Of Sander Van Butzelaar Sent: Wednesday, November 06, 2002 05:49 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Using a PST for 'overflow' I have a couple of users who do the same thing. They don't want to delete old mail (for whatever reason) and I can't keep extending their mailbox sizes. So they "move" to PST. Be aware of the risks here! Make a periodic backup of that PST as hard drives are prone to failure.

We are now enforcing stricter limits on mailbox size and would be interested in something like this. For ongoing maintenance, is Outlooks Autoarchiving a viable solution? i.e. does this move mail out of the server information store and into a PST in the users local profile?
