Outlook Personal Folder backup tool

Now this might be an interesting thing to install on PC’s here at the office. Not because there aren’t already super-simple ways to backup your personal folders, (just close Outlook and copy your .pst folder to the network on a regular basis, for example..) but because I can set it to remind people to backup their .pst file, and I can default it to a network location. You’d be surprised how often someone backs up their .pst file to the same drive the original is located and then yells at me when they lose all their stuff in a hard drive crash, or backs it up a couple of times but never remembers to do it after that and only has 4 month old data to recover!

At least it might be a useful option to those of use living without Exchange servers! 🙂

    It was some combination of not eating and not having the right environment that led to my brain fade, I’m convinced of it. I went and grabbed some lunch, came back to the office, popped in an appropriate Clash CD to get the mind moving, and voila! The answer hit me. I was doing two…

    Yes I got to spend most of my evening at work! On a Friday night, that rocks, doesn’t it? Turns out that late yesterday afternoon two different machines lost network connectivity suddenly. After a few checks of routine things, I eventually made my way to the wiring closet and noticed something wrong right away. In…
