I work with a small business and have been trying to incorporate a network for safety, security, and back up reasons. As you understand the boss wants to be as cost effective as possible. I just want to start out backing up email, since they have had ‘loss of email’ problems before. We use MS Outlook (thats what they know how to use) on 5 computers networked together with Windows XP Professional sp2. (1) Outlook 2003 (3) Outlook 2002 and (1) Outlook 2000. I need some easy quick solutions to be able to back up all their email along with attachments (attachments are important) to an external hard drive weekly. I will be doing the back ups since management doesnt understand what to do. I dont understand why MS made this function so hard to do. Where does Outlook store all the attachments anyway? It would be real easy to just copy this folder to the External HD but the file is really hard to find and a lot of the attachements are not in the folder. What’s the deal? Any help would be gladly appreciated.
