Rajesh, if you'll read the original message (which you quoted), Matt said that he tries to do backups *during the day*. Matt, I'm afraid you're between a rock and hard place here. You might try to get a message out to users to have them log out of Outlook during the lunch hour. Create a client command schedule that runs at noon that backs up *only* *.pst files. Kinda convoluted, but maybe worth a shot. -- Mark
