Thanks for posting this. It's making me rethink my E'rage 2004 version backup strategy, carried over from X, which was to occasionally quit Entourage, Command-D the Identity Folder, rename it with a date, and then start up Entourage and delete many of the older emails in Deletes, Sent, as well as emails with large attachments.
This new 2004 Export feature... Does anyone have any opinion on if it's better than the ol' Duplicate Identity method of X? I see the Export can't back up Projects.

The new Export feature in Entourage 2004 that will export almost everything
is a quick easy way to backup your data.

I set a Task to remind me to backup every 3 days.
