-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello Michael,
MSG> I need to have a mirror copy of my mailboxes on a backup computer. The only solution I currently have to help you mirror an inbox is to share your accounts directory with the desktop. I mean file, folder and printer sharing provided by Windows. The only problem I can see arise from this is what actually happens is any changes you make last on one PC will reflect in the next one on next access. MSG> My main computer is a laptop and my backup computer is a desktop. MSG> Currently, I use the TB Backup function to create a backup file from MSG> my laptop which I then move, using PC Anywhere, to my desktop that I MSG> use strictly for backup. After I move the file over to the desktop, I MSG> do a Restore in TB. You backup on your notebook, pass the file to your desktop and then restore it on your notebook or on your desktop? If you restore TB! files on your desktop it means you're not really using your desktop solely for backup. In this case share the mail account if possible to have both your desktop and notebook access one account. Otherwise backing up TB! is always a good idea and storing it elsewhere is better. MSG> The backup/restore process works fine. It brings over all the new MSG> messages; however, it also keeps all previous messages, many of which MSG> have been deleted from my laptop--or moved from one mailbox to another. If you're deleting messages but they seem to show up after a restore are you purging and compressing all of your folders? I purge, compress, backup and every restore never brought from the dead a message that was meant to be deleted. Purging and compressing your folders I believe will wipe your account of deleted folders, messages and attachments, etc. MSG> I'd like to be able to restore all my mailboxes so that the desktop MSG> will mirror what is on my laptop. If you share your account the problem will disappear and what will happen is your notebook will mirror your desktop and your desktop mirror your notebook. I have the same setup as yourself. My notebook is my primary and my desktop my secondary. Both run XP and both are connected to each other via a very simple network. I thought running a network will cost and arm and a leg but it's really less than 10.00 dollars to accomplish. Look at the back of your PCs and see if you have 1394 IEEE firewire ports and if you do you're in luck. Your PCs should be able to communicate in live time and at blazing speeds. Nothing beats a stable network for less than 10.00 and a network sure beats almost anything else :) - -- Best regards, Victor B.
