From: David H. Lipman on 17 Mar 2010 16:51 The ONLY backup device are user's are afforded is a DVD/RW drive. When a user has a LARGE PST >12GB, what is the 'Best Practice' to break apart the PST into PST files that will fit on a DVD (~4.5GB) ? --- Right now I have this situation and I created new PSTs and am moving data from the >12GB PST to the new PSTs not to exceed 4.5GB per PST. It is taking way too bloody long ! There has to be a better way. Microsoft Utility maybe ? -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp

There is no shared server beween the two campuses nor any service usable for a file of that size. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp

Move folders to a new pst - make a new pst when each one gets close to the size of the DVD. Or... use file splitter software - however, they will need it to put them back together. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com/ Outlook Tips by email: mailto:dailytips-subscribe-request(a)lists.outlooktips.net EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: mailto:EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST(a)PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM Do you sync your mailbox with a smartphone or pda? http://forums.slipstick.com/showthread.php?t=39473 "David H.
