Have you experimented with using rsync? It is native to the mac and can
be run through applescript I think. From what I recall, rsync will back
up only the changes to the file although I can not find that explicitly

Good idea, rsync works at the
Can they set entourage to archive mail periodically to make the file
smaller? Several small files instead of the one huge file.
Curiously, Entourage puts everything into one huge file. It doesn't
matter if you create new folders. They still are part of the same huge
database file.

There is a rather convoluted solution here, including some scripts, that
could probably be adapted to rsync:

The two programs are curiously different.
Outlook will allow multiple .pst files and will even let you specify the
location for the .pst file. Unfortunately, Entourage only has one
database file and you have to keep it at the required location.
Some Entourage users create a new identity
To note also, the max recommended .pst is less then 2 gigs.
You are on your own if you exceed that. MS's forces the archive issue
eventually.
MS did fix that 2GB limit. First they raised it to 4GB and with the
latest version they claim no limit except one imposed by the OS. I have
seen working
Dunno about Entourage at all, but Outlook provided for an archive .pst file
as well as the active .pst file. Then one would keep the active .pst file
small and back it up often, but back up the archive .pst file only after an
archive process had been run (say once a week or whatever). One

Super. This is easier than writing the AppleScript I mentioned before.
Even easier when I can just download the Automator workflow. I hate
writing AppleScript. Lousy language.
These guys also thought it through well. It

Yeah you are right, nice to know the limit is larger. I haven't had to help
anyone out with outlook for a few years so it's nice to know the limit is
higher. Still can't bring myself to like Outlook though.
