Hi

We had this problem before. Our Outlook/Exchange users left their client 
running over night, which first of all produced a lot of errors, and 
second of all made backups both take a long time, and also not backing up 
open PST-files.

The solution is to install St Bernard Open File Manager. We have this 
software running on two large fileservers containing both PST, and 
PAB-files. Today, all files are backed up, and the backup time is a lot 
faster.

The installation of St Bernard is very easy, and requires a minimum of 
time.

Best Regards

        Subject:        pst files


Why do *.pst files take so long to back up?   Even those that are not in 
use.  Does anyone have a strategy to back them up in a most efficient 
manner?  We have users that create multiple, large (gigs)
*.pst files and it's a requirement that we back them up.
