But you know, upon reading the archives (shoulda done that _before_ I posted the question!!), I don't think I want to use eseutil on a regular basis, unless it's necessary. Do you know of any other (3rd-party) app that would do this, or am I just barking up the wrong tree?

They have their own server (Exch2k Enterprise SP3 , Win2k Server SP3), and the database is close to 10Gb. Running an online backup (nightly) over the T1 is taking waaay too long. It's been suggested that we perform an offline backup, bring the stores back online, & shoot the backed up files down the T1 later. I have the procedure to this using eseutil (Q296788), but I would like to know if anyone else has any other options.
