Greetings...

We are starting to use Exchange and Outlook here, and now we need to figure
out how to backup PST files..  I know there has been some discussion of
this in the past on this list, and I have researched this.  Here's our problem.

We have a client constituency who will be running Outlook on systems, some
of which are connected sporadically (laptops) and/or over slower speed
network connections.

It seems that Open File Support (OFS) can be used to successfully back up
PST files, which is good.  We'd like to also use dynamic subfile backup on
the systems that are connected via slower networks.   The problem is that
subfile backups have a 2GB filesize limit, and PST files can grow >2GB.  Is
anyone else faced with this challenge?  If so, how are you addressing it?

Thanks.
..Paul
