You need to ask yourself a couple of questions. Why are you using PST files? Obviously you are using Exchange, so where is the benefit in using PST files? Is keeping them on a file server cheaper than keeping them on an Exchange server? Disk space costs the same on both. If it's a standard vs. enterprise thing, then you have the wrong version and the money you are spending on backups could just as easily be applied to upgrading the Exchange server.
Why are you backing them up? If the mail isn't important enough to keep on the Exchange server, it isn't important enough to backup. While we do allow users to keep PST's, we don't allow them to be stored on the network, nor do we back them up. -----Original Message----- From: Tuomela Arto [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 10, 2003 11:46 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: PST-file backup problem Hello ! My question deals with PST-files. When backing up PST-files you always have to back up every PST-file. This is because Outlook changes the file every time it's opened etc. So you cannot take just incremental from changed files. Usually you end up backing up all PST-files.. Ok.. so what you say! The problem is that if you have to pay for every Gig you take, you end up paying a lot of money! Is there any third party tool or way to get rid of this problem? Having the same problem? Or is it just me ;) Rgs, -Arttu- _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
