MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / March 2008Outlook 2007 backup problems.
Taking a backup of the outlook mailbox. Currently done by choosing: File -> Import and export -> export to a file -> .pst -> mailbox (and include sub-folders checked) -> allow duplicates This leaves me with a .pst of approx 700mb - which looks ok, but the mailbox size of the original is 1.4gb .. i've done a restore to another machine and it's missing about 23000 emails. any pointers?? cheers tq. > Taking a backup of the outlook mailbox. Is this for an Exchange account? Backups are best done on the server. > Currently done by choosing: > > File -> Import and export -> export to a file -> .pst -> mailbox (and > include sub-folders checked) -> allow duplicates Rarely is it a good idea to use export/import, especially for a backup. Instead, create a PST with File>new>Outlook Data File. Then copy the contents of the mailbox to the PST. Close the PST with right-click>Close. Close Outlook and copy the PST to your backup medium. All done.  SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
