I was trying an expiriment- I wanted to see if I could move my PST
File to my server so that it is backed up on the tape drive.

I copied my PST to a folder on the server then I changed the location
of the PST file and pointed it at the folder. After I did this I had
a second Personal Folder in my Outlook. This is were all of the items
were located that were in the PST file on the server.

Then I tried to get rid of the second Personal folder and go back to
the PST file on my computer. I could not delete either of the
Personal Folders

There has to be a way to do this. Can someone tell me the correct
steps to move the PST file to the server so it can be backed up?

Many Thanks
 
Personal folder files are unsupported over a LAN or over a WAN link

Is there a similar program for Outlook 2007?

Many Thanks

If you are referring to the automatic backup program, then yes, it works for
2007 as well...
 
Well I installed it on my machine that has Outlook 2007 and I can't
find the Backup button nor does it come up at exiting Outlook like it
did on my Outlook 2003
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
