Need a backup solution for Outlook 03 PST's

We have been using Backup Exec DLO to back up our PST files. At one point, when we first starting using DLO a few years ago we were backing up PST, desktop, and My Docs but I have My Docs and desktop now pointed to a server I am only using DLO to back up user PST files.

Symantec wants $87 a seat to renew our license and I cant see spending that kind of money just to back up a PST file. On top of the fact that absolutely hate Symantec as well.

I'd like something like the DLO option but without the high cost. And I only need the PST's backed up. I know I can run scripts at log off and on but that will be a very long period of time for logging on and off. I need a similar, cheaper solution to Backup Exec DLO. I have it in a budget already so, while cost is an issue, I don't have a need for a free solution. Unless something works great and does a automatic back up when someone adds something new to their PST.

Thanks!

The best thing to use is Exchange. That stores all the e-mail data on the exchange server and backup up the exchange server is much easier.

Otherwise, I don't know that you're going to find anything... Is there any reason you're not using Exchange?

Yes, we outsource our Exchange through USA.net. Was decided to do that before I got hired on and it makes my job that much easier. Actually every time I push to bring it back in house there's always a compelling reason to leave it outsourced. Like I have more work to do than I have time as it is, Exchange (and our approx. 20 Blackberry users) would just add to my already hectic workload.

I think I found a solution called EdgeSafe from DataMills.com seems to be what need. I just got the trial so I am going to play with it the rest of the day.

If anyone else has any other software I'd appreciate it.

Cheers
Rob
