I'm using TB 1.61 Business Edition on a Pentium III laptop PC running Windows 98 SE with 256 mb RAM.
I need to have a mirror copy of my mailboxes on a backup computer. My main computer is a laptop and my backup computer is a desktop. Currently, I use the TB Backup function to create a backup file from my laptop which I then move, using PC Anywhere, to my desktop that I use strictly for backup. After I move the file over to the desktop, I do a Restore in TB. The backup/restore process works fine. It brings over all the new messages; however, it also keeps all previous messages, many of which have been deleted from my laptop--or moved from one mailbox to another. I'd like to be able to restore all my mailboxes so that the desktop will mirror what is on my laptop. I thought that the Synchonise program would do that, but I had problems understanding how to use it. Before writing this, I went to the list archive and found Allie Martin's great explanation from January 2002 which seems to deal with the same problem I'm having. Her instructions were much clearer than the instructions in the Help Menu for the Maintenance center. However, in her email she stated: "The synchronisation process doesn't delete mail. It merely adds mail, folders and settings from the source system that aren't present in the target system." I tried the Synchronisation program--to be sure--and just as she said, mail was added but not deleted. Since neither Synchronise nor Backup/Restore will create this mirror image I need, can anyone suggest an alternate solution? Thanks.
