Outlook Express backup!

    Hi!
    There is this outlook Message Store folder that contains
    very important messages, the messages are classified by
    month and removed from Inbox to a folder named inbox-
    month-year, Sent items is also classified the same way.
    There are also a lot of sub folders under each month for
    example.

    OK, I want to combine Normal backup with Incremental
    backup (using ntbackup), but I was surprised to find out
    that even if the file name that represents the folder
    (which is folder.dbx) wasn't modified, the backup
    utility will copy it because a parent folder (which in
    turn has a corresponding dbx file name) was changed.
    It's like doing only "Normal" backup, and this is
    getting insane because every day there will be new 5 GBs
    written to the hard disk designated only for backups.
    (It is 200 GBs)

    Of course, I'm choosing the option:"Append this backup
    to the media", because where is the point in backing up
    if I wasn't able to retrieve things that are two days
    old?

    The whole problem is caused by these folders that are
    untouched, I can't remove them because I need them. I
    need looking in 2006 mail so what would I do?

    Please help...

    Amjad!
