Default Need Help in Restoring Outlook

Chris Peikert wrote:

We use Veritas Backup Exec 9.1 with a Dell 132T Autoloader. We use a
Monday through Friday tape and then alternate fridays by putting some
in an off site storage location. What I did was retreived the fridays
tape from 9-1-06 and put it in the fridays slot. Told Veritas to
catalog that tape which it did. Under the Restore option you will
then see the date 9-1-06 and the data that was backed up on that
tape. I selected the Outlook.pst file that was mine and told it in
the advanced options area to Overwrite any other files there. Then
ran the process. I also tried it again but told the restore process
to put the outlook.pst files in an alternate location. That is how i
restored it.


If Outlook was not closed when the backup was made, there's no guarantee the
PST is valid. We use the same backup program and we see PSTs in the
exception log all the time because we can't get people to close their
Outlooks when they go home. Consequently, their PSTs don't get backed up
properly.

When you restored it, where did you put it and how did you tell Outloopk to
use it?
