We have a small office with 7 workstations running on SBS 2003 and using Exchange Server 2003.
We know that on standalone PC's - the .pst file is the Outlook e-mail file which needs to be backed up.
However, we are a bit confused when networked and using Exchange Server. Are there .pst files on the Server? If so, where? Our previous IT guy said there is no particular file which holds the outlook e-mail files (including contacts, etc.) - He said the only way to backup the e-mail - was to
backup the entire Exchange program directory including the exe file for Exchange, This doesn't sound right.
Are there separate files for each user or just a single file encompassing all users. Bottom line is - What file or files do I backup nightly (and where are they)to insure all outlook e-mail, contacts, etc. are saved and backed up.
Thanks so much in advance..
