Sorry, I was going to reply earlier. I downloaded that and it works like a
champ. I'll just add that to my install image.

You don't have to worry about it with the personal folder backup:

http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/2002/pfbackup.aspx

It will synchronize whenever you like it. For some of our mobile users that
require it I set it up for when they close down outlook.

Yes, that will work but since .pst files (and a few others) won't
synchronize, the user gets an error message when the synchronization is
done. I warn them that will happen, but, you know, it shouldn't. They also
have to wait until the synchronization is complete, acknowledge it and then
they can continue the shutdown process.

Maybe I'm just worried about nothing, but you know how it is. User loses
something and as a network administrator, you feel guilty that you could
have done more for them, right, right...we feel guilty???

Why can't you just go into Autoarchive and "browse" to My Documents? Won't
that set the path? (We rarely use it so that's why the ?)

What is the generally recommended procedure of backing up .pst files,
particularly the archive.pst file?

Of course Outlook puts archive.pst on the local drive. If you put it in the
"My Documents" folder (mapped to the network), when the user synchs the file
on logout they get the WARNING DID NOT SYNCHRONIZE .PST FILE! (or something
like that which will freak out all but the stouthearted). They cannot leave
their computer until the synchronization finishes.

Since the archive is, in effect, saving space in the IS by moving those
files to a separate folder, losing the archive could be pretty bad?

Is archiving Outlook files not the thing to do? Should that be turned off on
all users and just let the IS swell to whatever it gets to?

Should I create a logoff script to backup the .pst files to a separate
network share?

Thanks,
