I had figured that would be the case, but I thought maybe someone might know of one those neat little TB! tricks. :) > I'm not particularly fond of TB!'s backup since you can't restore a > single folders mailbase if you needed to.

I agree that TB!'s backup is not very suitable as a routine, periodic backup operation. In this case, I was doing the backup to move TB! to a new machine. Since the problem only shows up with TB!'s own backup facility, and the last such was probably done months ago, the question is whether I still have have 'regular' backups that go back far enough to recover a good file. > Otherwise, I suggest backing up using a batch operation or a backup > utility like SecondCopy. Actually we do nightly backups using NovaStor+, but I've been thinking of installing SecondCopy or HandyBackup to do lite-weight backups of hot data several times a day. Have you, by any chance, compared these two, or other similar apps? Any thoughts appreciated! Off to start digging.
