You could map a network drive and have a simple batch file do a copy from the local machine to the mapped drive every night at X:XX time. Or just relocate the .pst files to the file server and change where Outlook looks for these files. Then back them up every night from that single location. Much easier then trying to ensure 50 machines are on and what not to pull data from. That would be my recommendation. -- How lucky am I to have known someone who is so hard to say good-bye to.

That is why backups are only kept for two weeks before it is rewritten. Though I like your idea of placing all the e-mails on the server and then making a backup from there. I have see if we can invest in a larger hard drive to do this. ------------------------- How much network traffic does Outlook/Express mail use? If the traffic is a lot then it would degrade the server performance. (One server only)

(One server only) This I do not know. What are the specs of this server? What is your e-mail traffic like in and out every day? What other uses does this file server have? -- How lucky am I to have known someone who is so hard to say good-bye to.
