We learnt an interesting fact today. MS official word on PST files is "Dont store them on network drives, as it isnt supported"....great. That means if your users want to have archives they should store them on a local drive..... 2 implications to that;
1. They wont be available if the user is roaming
2. They wont be backed up over night
Microsoft offer some work-arounds, for example copy the arhive pst from the local drive to their home drive when they log out, and visa versa when they log in. Great...as long as your users dont mind 20 minute login and logout times.
Another workaround is to backup the archive from the PC......also not such a great solution if your users shut their PCs down when your backup is scheduled, and if you dont have an infinite budget with which to buy backup agents for every PC in your infrastructure.
No-doubt we will be re-visiting this problem in the near future, as the official MS line is that Archives may become corrupt, and their may be overload on the server hosting the PST files.
