backup outlook 2007 email files
I do a regular backup of the PST file, but would like to backup individual emails in stored file folders. Any suggestions? Email folders are not stored separately from the rest of the PST file. If you want to store them separately, then you'd need to create a second PST file to which you could copy them. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Charlie Woll" <cwoll@citlink.net> wrote in message news:eLSJ6C17IHA.3692@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... >I do a regular backup of the PST file, but would like to backup individual >emails in stored file folders.

backup plans in sql
We have Great Plains running on SQL 2000. We have sql services running under admin1 as the userid. When I log into the server as admin2 and review the database maintenance plans, I dont see anything checked on on any of the tabs (except for the database tab). Nothing is checked in complete backup or transaction log backup. However, the jobs based on these database maintenance plans are running correctly and backing up the full database and transaction logs appropriately. Is it that I cannot see the details of the database maintenance plans because I am logged in as admin2 whereas sql ...

Restore SBS from file-system backup
I've been backing up the SBS using the backup wizard. The backup process works great, but I'm concerned about the size of the backup. Space is getting tight on our bacup tapes, and as I understand it, my Exchange DB is backed up twice because the SBS backs up the Exchange Organization as an item, and then backs up the entire file system, which includes my DB and transaction log files. To alleviate this problem, I've recently stopped using the SBS backup process, and instead just take a disk image of the entire server every night. This raises a number of questions and pot...

Backup Settings on 2 computers
I have MoneyPlus installed on 2 computers at home...on my laptop and on my desktop. I have the laptop open my file from the desktop computer on the 2nd hard drive In Money 2005, my backup settings for the desktop was to automatically backup to the F: drive everytime I closed the program and it would backup to a thumb drive every 2 weeks.

If I take out the settings on the laptop for the backup, wh...

Info Store Corruption and Backup
Hello, Exchange 2000 (Small stores on a single server). Last night, I moved my EDB and STM files for both my Mailbox Store and Public Store to another drive on my server by following the directions in the following articles (they both say essentially the same thing): http://www.msexchange.org/pages/article_p.asp?id=535 http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=270693 I did not move the transaction logs because the MSExchange.org article eluded that they should not be on the same drive. That said, I left the transaction log location alone and only moved the databases. Anyway, the move went we...

Backup program needed
Running WinXP Pro SP2 on Dell with 3G CPU and 2G RAM. I bought a Seagate external hard drive for backup purposes and now I'm looking for a good backup program. The one that came with the Seagate isn't very good because it makes you backup on a schedule rather than when you want and Microsoft's SyncToy is worthless because I don't have all of my folders under My Documents so I have to make folder pairs for each folder. If there is something free out there that would be great. I'd like to be able to have the program run and only change the folders/files th...

Backup fails after deletion of one mailbox store
Hi NG, I run an exchange 2000 enterprise server with 3 mailbox stores in one storage group.

Backup Exchange 2000 Checklist
Hi , I'm going to upgrade my Exchange 2000 server to Exchange 2003. In order to have a good backup of my server i want to make sure that i have a backup that can be restored afterwards. I took a backup already with NTBackup and I'm planning to use Exmerge to create pst files for all users. Is there other stuff i can do to backup my machine. Thanks for helping out ... The 3rd level of safety is to disconnect all users and connections (smtp etc) and then do the online backup. That'll purge the logs. Then stop the exchange services and copy the EDB and STM files elsewhere. You&...

Simplest way to backup Outlook?
Could a few MVP's offer a definitive answer on this... I'm using Outlook2003 with BCM. There are lots of help menu's on backing up things. All I want is a fast, simple *total* backup (I'll put it on a CD or another PC) in case lightning hits this PC and I have to reinstall Outlook and retrieve my data. So... If I simply *copy* my Outlook.pst file (mine's 39MB), isn't that all I need? Isn't that a 100% copy of my entire Outlook* (email, calendar, contacts, everything) ...and if I had to reinstall Outlook, all I'd need to do is copy this file on top of the ne...

Problem Recovering a Backup
Hi i have a Win2k Domain and Exchange 2k Organization, we used to had a 2 node cluster(ND1, ND2) but since the hardware became obsolete, we migrated to a single server(ND3), with the databases remaining in a SAN, by mistake all the binary files were installed in a shared Disk on the SAN,now we are trying to recover a backup in another hardware(ND4, less CPU's and Less RAM) just in case something happens with the actual server, when we try to recover the backup we get several errors and have done some serious troubleshooting with no success at all, so we decided to move back to ND3 and it ...

How best to backup an Access database
OK, reading here I saw someone has lost his database and there was talk about backup. What I'm doing for backup is ever so often, I copy/ paste a copy of my .mdb file. I have automatic backup software that then backs that up offsite. Should I create something that exports the data in the tables and use that as a backup or am I doing enough? What so people do to backup their access applications?

*** New How-To Article Posted
I have hacked together a way to automate / script Exmerge. This allows you to backup all of your user mailboxes to .PST files. We use this as a free way to perform "brick level" backups. This is a type of backup where each mailbox is individually backed up. It makes it easy to setup a restore of an individual mailbox. When using this hack, plus performing backups with NTBackup, you can perform full exchange backups without 3rd party backup software. This should save $$$ in many small organizations. http://www.castellan.net/exmerge_automation.html ...

Exchange won't backup
We have backed up using NTBackup the procedures in the 'how to' section of the Microsoft website, it shows no errors but when we view the backup tape for all subfolders in Microsoft Information Store they say ''No entries Found' We only have one site, we do have public folders and the restore says errors 'refer to event log' and the event log says 'refer to backup report'..... All the other files do backup up successfully ie. user folder files and documents. The folders are created ie. all folders in First Storage Group (public folder, mailbox store ...

Microsoft Personal Folder backup
You know the Microsoft PF backup tool? Its working fine on windows XP but I can't make it work with Win7.

Is it temporary? Will it be supported in the future or is there any other tool for windows 7? All it does is copy the pst - you can do that yourself. if you need help finding the files, see http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/filepath.htm - the path for Win7 is the sam...

SQL backup corrupted or unreadable
I did a backup of a 36GB SQL database to a USB hard drive, which completed successfully. When I went to copy that backup to my archive server, at around 40% it errored aaying the file was unreadable or corrupted. Of course, I had already deleted the database since I needed room on my server and thought I had a good backup. I've tried everything I know, including trying to undelete the databse files from the server, which found nothing and running chkdsk on the USB drive. Of course, when I did that, it showed the file as having 0 KB! So am I hosed or what? is there anything e...

IS backup file size
Hello - We have a scheduled task to perform a full (normal) backup of our Exchange IS every night. We have roughly 115 employees at our company. I noticed that our backup file is 67GB. Is this file size too large? If so, what is the 'average' backup file size? Just to give you further info, we have our mailbox quota set to 500mb. 400mb for warning, 450mb for denying send, and 500mb for denying send/receive. So, my question would be, am I ok with this massize file size for the backup, or are there something that I need to tweak. Thanks in advance. Hi Nathan, "Natha...
