Veeam Agent to Backup PST Files?

Post by pltit »

Hello - I am already running Veeam Backup and Replication with a local repository. I need to back up PST files on several workstations. If I install Veeam Agent for Windows onto the workstations, will it be able to back up the PST files throughout the day even when Outlook is running on the workstations? Has anyone used Veeam Agent to backup PST files and incurred any issues?

Thank you

Hello pltit!

Yes, thank should work. However keep in mind that .ost files are skipped automatically due the Microsoft recommendations (however, it's possible to include .ost file as well). Cheers!

Thank you. With Veeam Agent, can I just back up the PST files or do I have to back up the entire workstation?

Hello pltit,

Sure, you can select file level backup mode and specify the folder which contains the desired file. To find more information about this mode, please check this Help Center article. Thank you!
