MS Office Forum / Outlook / 3rd Party Utilities / March 2005Backup of Public Folders to PST files
Hello, I would like to automate the bakcup of Public Folders to one ( or more) PST file(s). I haven't found any applications that will allow me to do this. My initial shot at this was to export PF's manually, but for the long term this is not a viable alternative. we need to have this run on a schedule. I'm NOT replacing the backup of MS Exchange with this. Our Exchange server is supported by a third party ASP taking care of the day-to-day operations. I'd like to make a secondary backup for onsite use. Any ideas?

You should look for an Outlook syncronisation programme, e.g. here: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/sync.htm This is one option: http://www.olfolders.de/Lang/English/QSync/qsync1.htm The programmes could sync your folders to similar folders in a pst-file, which then is the backup file. Jan Thanks for pointing these out.... Please remember the keyword in my original post is AUTOMATED, I know that i didn't emphasize it, but that's the big issue.

Then you will get an .ost file theat you can backup. Then you will need no additional software. I also found this website: http://www.backup-for-workgroups.com/winitpro/winitpro-index.html with a software that supports "Off-Site storrage" and Exchange Backup. I wouldn?t sync automaticly the Public Folders of Exchange with a PST file, with Tools that are written for notebook synchronization. (My meaning).

When I make Favorites, they appear under Public Folders and I cannot have them in a Backup Mailbox. Furthermore, I have only one ost-file which must contain off line content of both my personal mailbox and favorites. This ost-file is possible to backup, I just think it is easier to have a pst-file that you can open and then get old items from. ....> I wouldn?t sync automaticly the Public Folders of Exchange with a PST file, > with Tools that are written for notebook synchronization. (My meaning). Why not? The tool is just copying items to a pst-file. What could happen by doing it this way? Is it not possible to use your own Public SyncTool (PST) for this purpose? Jan OST files are a PITA for backups.

I don't know of any way to do this, unless it was some sort of script on the server-side. I don't think that it would need to be a script on the server side. A simple vbscript that copies the public folders into a .pst file would work and then you could use Task Scheduler to run that script nightly (or on whatever schedule you wanted). >> Hello, >> [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > the > server-side. > I don't think that it would need to be a script on the server side. > Well, maybe not, if you are happy to leave your machine logged in when this runs, and leave this rather critical system function up to a workstation. :) > A > simple vbscript that copies the public folders into a .pst file would > work and then you could use Task Scheduler to run that script nightly > (or on whatever schedule you wanted). True. However, I have no idea what that script would be. And see my previous paragraph above. >>> Hello, >>> [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] >> script on the >> server-side.
