Hope this hasn't been posted already but, after recently losing all my old emails and contacts I am pleased to find that those nice chaps at Microsoft have an add-on that will automatically backup your folders to anywhere you wish on exit.

I hope the link works

Can you not just script a copy of the PST files to a seperate location?

That would probably require some intelligence on my part

I've been using that and the previous version for office XP for a number of years. Always handy just in case the GF does something on her laptop and looses her emails.

Set it up to backup automatically once per week should be enough.

I quoteth the linkage:

"If you have a Microsoft Exchange Server mailbox, your server mailbox folders are likely backed up regularly by your server administrator."



Oh, those crazy guys at Microsoft. Funny, aren't they? Regularly. That's a good 'un...
