I am trying to find an auto backup system.  I have Maxtor, but its auto backup system will not backup outlook files.  Maxtor tech support states that its system does not back up all files, including outlook, leaving me to wonder what else Maxtor is SKIPPING.  I can manually EXPORT the outlook files each night, but that is tedious and Maxtor may be skipping other files.  I have to believe that somewhere there is a system that will actually backup everything.  Any ideas?  

I have a desktop PC, using WINDOWS XP Pro.

Thank you for your replies.http://www.2brightsparks.com/syncback/syncback-hub.html

Try this , it can backup locked files on NTFS systems that have the volume shadow copy service running (That's win2000 and up)Exactly what Maxtor software are you referring to?

Why not just use Windows Task Scheduler to periodically backup your Outlook.pst file?Thank you, Panboy and Soybean.  I'll LOOK at Syncback.  I wonder if it will work with the Maxtor HD that I already have.  I'll ask its sales team about that.

The software that I use with the Maxtor is the software that came with it, Retrospect EXPRESS HD.  The Windows Task Scheduler is a good idea, but I still wonder what else the Retrospect Express HD is skipping.
