pfbackup.exe

[Jean-Luc]

Hello,
I installed Office 2000 and Outlook 2003 on my computer.
With my outlook2000 version, I used to use a small utily of microsoft that
allow me to backup my pst files (pfbackup.exe).
Now i'm trying it but it's not working.
I realise that when a user had Outlook2000 with the pfbackup.exe installed
and correctly working, when he makes an update to the 2003 version, it's
still working.
But when we erase everything and make a new installation of directly
Outlook2003 and the fpbackup.exe, it don't work.

Thanks for your help

Have you downloaded the latest version? While I don't know for sure if the
utility changed, I do know that a new version was posted at about the same
time Outlook 2003 was released.

I don't know of any way. What we do here is to require everyone to exit
Outlook at night. Then we have a scheduled job back up all the PSTs. If
people don't close Outlook, they're told the risks they run and that they'll
have to live with whatever happens.
