MS Office Forum / Outlook / New Users / December 2005PST Issue - Please help
Good Day, We are running Office 2003 with exchange 2003 sp1. Because of issues that we are having with our exchange database and backing up. It was decided to off load older files to PST that is on a network drive. They can access the pst files via the network and move email with large attachments there. Out of the blue a user called up saying that he lost some folders in the PST I looked at it and assume that perhaps he deleted them without realizing it. (I did a recovery that was 6 months old and the files were still not there). I scratched this one up as user error. In the next situation I had a user that had a PST file located on her local drive. I copied the file to the network. A few days later I get a call saying that she is missing files from her PST which is labeled data2005. I asked her did she copies anything new to it since I moved it over she said No. I disconnected her and reconnected her to her local file that I copied over and the emails/files were still not there. If anybody has seen this happen please let me know. These PST files are large over 1gig at times. Thank You Adam Raff The use of a pst over the network is not supported - it can lead to data loss/corruption > Good Day, > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > Thank You > Adam Raff Hi DL, Thanks for the response. That may explain the first users issue but not the second. Her PST file was on the local drive, then I copied it to the network. Both versions have data missing from the local and network version. Is there a size issue or something that could cause data loss?

If mail missing from local connection, youre sure its not a view or archive issue? > Hi DL, > [quoted text clipped - 43 lines] > >> Thank You > >> Adam Raff What do you mean by archive issue. What I am doing is moving the folders into the group not letting Outlook archive them. By view perhaps, but I don't think so. It seems that everything from the last two months are gone in some folders. I could say user error but not likely not in this case. You see this was local and then I coped the file to the network. When she couldn't find the folders that she needed I pointed her back to her local copy and they were missing also. I had an issue with this file when coping it over the network, saying it lost connection but that shouldn't damage the original file just the one on the network which I deleted and then recopied later on. > There should'nt be a size issue, assuming use of 2003 format pst. > If mail missing from local connection, youre sure its not a view or [quoted text clipped - 57 lines] >> >> Thank You >> >> Adam Raff Archive: I meant was archive set on the local sys?
