Default Pfbackup corrupts psts.

Hiya, pfbackup is installed on about a dozen power users outlook 2000.
I have set it to remind the user that they are to back up their file
every 15 days. When the user gets the message from pfbackup they
press the "save backup" button which then saves to the NAS server.
This has been going on for several months. When one of the bosses
found he had deleted a load of emails by accident I went into outlook
pfbackup and tried the "open backup" and i get the message :

The personal folders file (.pst) .... could not be opened. The file
may not be compatible with this version of outlook or it may be
corrupted.

If I try the File Open Pst way or the import file I get the messages I
mentioned previously.

Any pst that I have copied to the server without the pfbackup opens
fine, its just that none of the backups from any of the 12 users can
be opened.

Any further suggestions?

Thanks

Martin

Clearly pfbackup is not the culprit here, since many of us use it with no
problems whatsoever. Describe in detail the entire process you use.
