Vista:: CompletePC backup and ost files

  • Article

Be aware the CompletePC Backup functionality doesn't backup your ost files. This is not a big issue because this file can be regenerated by the Exchange server the next time you connect.

I found the explanation why Vista doesn't backup this kind of files on this blogpost.

Basically because this file changes a lot it could take quite some IO to keep a shadow copy of this file.
