Why the hard line approach? I never said I made the backup of the PST, that's why one has a facilities department...I also didn't say that I found that mail particularly important, the user wants to keep it, so why not let him/her? They know not to come to me regarding items in PST files.
Give the user a bit of slack here David. Sander -----Original Message----- From: David N.

I don't back up PSTs. Period. Either its in their mailbox or it is not that important. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:bounce-exchange-224131@;ls.swynk.com] On Behalf Of Sander Van Butzelaar Sent: Wednesday, November 06, 2002 05:49 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Using a PST for 'overflow' I have a couple of users who do the same thing. They don't want to delete old mail (for whatever reason) and I can't keep extending their mailbox sizes. So they "move" to PST. Be aware of the risks here! Make a periodic backup of that PST as hard drives are prone to failure. Sander -----Original Message----- From: Niki Blowfield - Exchange [mailto:exchangelist@;partition.co.uk] Sent: 06 November 2002 12:45 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Using a PST for 'overflow' I was having a discussion with someone the other day and he mentioned this phrase in passing, that they used PST files when user mailboxes became full I didn't dwell on this as we were talking about something else, but can anyone suggest what he may have meant? We are now enforcing stricter limits on mailbox size and would be interested in something like this. For ongoing maintenance, is Outlooks Autoarchiving a viable solution? i.e. does this move mail out of the server information store and into a PST in the users local profile?
