[Off Topic] MS-Outlook Macro

Hello Todd,
We use outlook and have a utility prompt the users every 7 days to do a
backup. The backup is directed to their "my documents" which is on our
server. The utility was down loaded from Microsoft at
http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/2002/pfbackup.aspx it works well.

Ok, this should be a good brain twister ...

Given Exchange V 5.5 and MS-Outlook-2000 ... ( And the lack of a good way
to
backup and restore individual mailboxes ... )

I'd like to take 1 PC, install Outlook, add the mailboxes for our key
employees, and then once a week export every mailbox to a PST file as a
backup in case of emergency. ( 1 mailbox = 1 pst )

Options ?

- Use a keystroke/mouse recorder like Ground Control or AimKeys ...

- Use a command line switch to tell outlook to create a pst file for a
specific mailbox as part of bat file containing all mailboxes?

- Use a Outlook Macro to issue the commands?

I sort of like the idea of writing a Macro to issue the "Export/to a
file/pst/mailbox name/all-sub-folders/put it here" idea.

Does anyone know how to write a Outlook Macro to do this or does anyone
have
a better idea?

Thanks,

Todd Anderson

I force our outlook to use a PST file on the Server, then have the server
backup the PST files. Its all automatic.
