Default Can Anyone Recommend Backup Software for Outlook?

Peter, here is your initial post to which I responded... see comments in
line...

-------------
There's lots out there that will backup, restore, copy, migrate, etc. All
good stuff. But here's the kicker - it has to backup while Outlook is open.
If it can backup over a network as well, that would be sweet. All I've been
able to find that can do the job and is reliable is the Veritas product at a
whopping $800 US. Too rich at that price.

Any suggestions welcomed.

Well, it doesn't sound like you want to backup a server.


Quite (I didn't say I did)


You message tittle said specifically that you wanted backup software for
Outlook. You never said exactly what you wanted to backup. Could have been
Outlook itself. If you want to backup your mailbox, the methods differ
depending on what type of mailbox you have. I don't care if you call it a
mail store or a mailbox or whatever. But calling it Outlook doesn't work.

You want to backup your PST mail store.


Quite. I did say that I did


No Peter, you did not.

Outlook is a client, not a server.


Quite. Though a distinction that doesn't seem to provide anything useful.
:-)


You might want to read the subject of your post again and see if you can
tell what it says you want to backup.

Also, I took your "Any suggestions welcomed" literally. Shouldn't I have?

-Frank
