I usually recommend my clients implement roaming profiles then I move the Outlook folder to My Documents (with a clear explanation that the Outlook folder is off limits) so that it'll get synchronized to a server that has its own regular backups. If that's not an option I either recommend they use IMAP if their email providers support it or I configure automatic backups to a network drive. If those options are not possible they often want to perform manual backups because there's no server and I tell them where the file is but usually suggest they backup their entire profile.

>>I found the link useful, both in and of itself and as a reminder that Slipstick's a great place to go for Outlook info. One thing I dislike about the default location of the pst is that it's a hidden, buried folder. Sure, that makes it less likely that a user will delete it, but it also makes it very unlikely that a user will back it up. I usually move the pst to a location that will get backed up reliably. When Outlook starts it asks where I put the file (alas, it does not ask nicely), I point to the new location, and all is well. How do the rest of you handle backup of these local mail stores?>;>
