Why can't you just go into Autoarchive and "browse" to My Documents?  Won't that set 
the path? (We rarely use it so that's why the ?)

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?

Thanks,
