We also backup a lot of LARGE .pst files on personal PC's. Many of our users have multiple .pst files, and they get released periodically, so most users get a couple of backups a week, especially if we can get them to leave the PC on overnight so that the backup occurs a while after they leave.
I have had NO luck getting the files to release early by creating the mspst.ini file - if you have success with that, please let me know! The .pab file doesn't seem to EVER get released. So we aren't getting as many backups as we would like, but it's better than nothing... -----Original Message----- From: MC Matt Cooper (2838) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2003 1:58 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How is the *.PST freed? Hello all, I am using TSM 5.1.5.4 server and 5.1.0 and 5.1.5.2 clients on WindowsXP clients. I have been tasked with backing up a couple hundred desktops, during the day. Of course the number 1 file of importance is everyone's E-MAIL. We are using WindowsXP and OUTLOOK 2000. I notice that many of the PC's have there e-mail file OPEN and it is skipped. However many are being backed up and these people also have there e-mail open. My Guess is that after a period of inactivity that the outlook email file user.PST is released. DOES ANYONE KNOW THIS TO BE A FACT? HOW CAN THIS 'period of inactivity' variable be shorted so most people get there .PST file backed up? Thanks in advance Matt
