U-AIR Export Mailbox to PST Enhancement Request

[rboynton]

Whenever an employee leaves, we must convert their mailbox to a PST before removing it from Exchange. When the target dialog box comes up, it always defaults to one particular folder. It seems like a small thing, but because we usually do a lot of these; it would be very helpful if we could type in a path and that path "stay" for the next time we do the same thing. It does not need to be persistent after the recovery process is complete, but simply maintain that path while we select another mailbox to export to PST.

If I remember correctly we use the standard folder from the OS.
So to edit the default OS folder is maybe the solution.

Can you please tell me which OS you use with B&R (or the server that runs the U_AIR) and which folder by default pops up?

We are using Windows 2008r2 Storage Server. The default path is "C:\users\loggedinuser\desktop"

Checked with our QA, it looks like that you can not change it on the Veeam side. Maybe you can add some folder links to the desktop so that you need to select just a subfolder. Other option is maybe to change the desktop folder to the folder that you want to use.

OK, we'll work around that issue. Thanks for checking. Too bad that a unique enviornmental variable cannot be established then called to set this value, for example %UAIRLOCATION%.
