You can use the Personal Folder Backup utility to copy the pst file to one of your network shared. You can get it here: http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/2002/pfbackup.aspx
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of John Orban Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2003 9:39 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Recommendations on backing up .pst files Sensitivity: Private What is the generally recommended procedure of backing up .pst files, particularly the archive.pst file? Of course Outlook puts archive.pst on the local drive. If you put it in the "My Documents" folder (mapped to the network), when the user synchs the file on logout they get the WARNING DID NOT SYNCHRONIZE .PST FILE! (or something like that which will freak out all but the stouthearted). They cannot leave their computer until the synchronization finishes. Since the archive is, in effect, saving space in the IS by moving those files to a separate folder, losing the archive could be pretty bad? Is archiving Outlook files not the thing to do? Should that be turned off on all users and just let the IS swell to whatever it gets to? Should I create a logoff script to backup the .pst files to a separate network share?
