We have a modest Exch 5.5 server with around 3.2GB of IS data and 40 odd users. We've had a system failure recently. I had the idea that, space permitting on the client machines, if everyone had sync'd OSTs that if we were to have a total outage/failure, we have the option of 'starting' again - a kind of belt and braces idea in the event backups fail, and so on.
Would there be any major down sides with this idea? Can ordinary (no password protection) PSTs be opened by any Outlook install? Regards Karl List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
