Re: [BackupPC-users] Shadow Copy in WindowsXP
Per the suggestion of somebody on this list, I use Exmerge (downloadable from MS's website) to backup my Exchange server. It saves a pst file for each individual account and has rsync-like properties for restoring -- for example it can restore new email messages only, if you want it to. My Exchange server runs Exmerge daily, and then BackupPC backs up the pst files. -Rob Peter McKenna wrote: Hi Dejan, If you are trying to backup the clients PIM info from Outlook why don't you use Backup.pst?

[BackupPC-users] Shadow Copy in WindowsXP
hi, When searching the Internet, snapshots and shadow copy are associated with Server versions of Windows. I have to use shadow copy on client machines to be able to backup Outlook files but the only way I found to do that is by using XP's Backup program. This Backup program unfortunately makes bkf archive which creates unwanted additional steps in backing up/restoring. Any solution for this?

Windows XP can't shadow copy whole drives, what server versions can. You can shadow copy single files only. Technically, you can use it when doing some local operations, but if you would want to somehow trigger it from BackupPC, would be very hard. Some workarounds: 1) use roaming profiles Outlook files are corrupted - lucky me, I have backup of roaming profiles? No, some Outlook files are being exmpted from being included in the roaming profile (some files are stored in Local Settings directory, which is not uploaded to the server). 2) write a script which copies local user files somewhere else - not in use, you can copy them on Windows... 3) yeah, Windows backups sucks... -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki:http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/

Re: [BackupPC-users] Shadow Copy in WindowsXP
this happens only when outlook exits. If you must exit outlook, then you might as well use taskkill and close outlook in the prebackup script.
