I don't like them either, but I don't own or run the Company. The solution you speak of cost thousands of dollars and that just isn't happening.

I'm having a hard time trying to get them to reduce their mailboxes. They will not allow me to put a limit policy in place and currently I have some users with about 15GB in their InBox - I have to do something or their going to run the Mail Server out of space in the next few months. Though maybe I should let them and tell them "I told you so".

I've got the code just about done to do automated backups. Should hopefully have it done either tomorrow or the next day. I must be missing something as you're now the second person to suggest RoboCopy and I'm a big fan of RoboCopy but a PST file should be locked for write and not copyable by RoboCopy. Let alone you'd still need to either manually find and set or automated find and set the path and files.
