Outlook .pst files

Is there a way to get the backup plus to back up Outlook .pst files or will you add this in the future? Thanks Jerry

Re: Outlook .pst files

I believe .pst files pose a special challenge for backup software programs, but here is some information:

Re: Outlook .pst files

I keep my Outlook .pst and Outlook backup.pst files in a folder in My Documents called Outlook. The initial backup made a backup copy of both pst files.  The third backup made a backup copy of my pst file.  Then all of a sudden, every backup after that shows the Outlook backup folder but there  is no backup copy of the pst file in the folder.  I plan to contach support tomorrow. Anyway the point is that I think Dashboard should be able to make a backup copy of the pst file.

Re: Outlook .pst files

I think the problem may lie in attempting to continuously back those files up.

Does it work if you perform an Export or something similar with Outlook?
