Backups

A nightly back-up for a home/small business user, such as myself, is so easy with a stand alone version of Outlook - just copy the .pst files to the servers and back up folders.

Of course I could always have an Exchange server in house but that's overkill and it's going to need all sort of back-end servers running domains. And that's a bitch to back-up for a one man band trying to concentrate on doing real stuff.

The .pst file is an excellent format and even if my files are about four gig in size the thing still backs up each day

Outlook Express? If that is ever an answer then it must be a bloody stupid question.
