Bill Gates Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Does anyone know the solution or any decent workarounds for a Macintosh 6.1 Backup Server looking at Windows XP SP2 client which use Outlook 2003. We simply need to back-up the Outlook mail store (.pst) but when Outlook is opened then this file is in use and Retrospect won't back it up. As it is a Backup Server and the clients are laptops then I need this to automate during working hours. Any suggestions or previous experience?

Lennart_T Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 I think the only way to solve this is running Retrospect from a PC and use the Outlook backup option. Or as a bad second option: Tell the users to quit Outlook when they leave the PC. And you can also prompt them during the backup countdown to quit Outlook.

Bill Gates Posted March 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Sounds like the answer I expected, what is the future roadmap for Retrospect on Mac platform? It seems to have stalled in the last few years with not much development. Lots of people are now raving about the BakBone solution, I've never thought about moving away from the beloved Retrospect, anyone any comparisons?

Lennart_T Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Quote: what is the future roadmap for Retrospect on Mac platform? Hi. I hear a new version is in the works. The goal is to have save same level of functionality on both platforms. No time frame is given. Regards Lennart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redleader Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 "Tell the users to quit Outlook when they leave the PC" This does not always 'close' the .pst file, any other options? If we can access Retrospect Client for Windows from Mac OS X Retrospect 6.1 then why can't it be made to close files like the Windows version ? ! Seems a bit illogical or biased to me....
