Folder redirection and backup issues


I am studying the pitfalls of moving from SBS2000 to SBS 2003.

We have folder redirection enabled for the my doucments folder to the user's
shared folder.

We know that certain file types are excluded from offline use
synchronisation like .PST and .MDB. However I ran into unexpected behaviour
trying to restore a backup of SBS2K "Users shared folders" to SBS2003 "Users
shared folders". During the backup I received errors that the disk size was
not big enough for the files .PST and .MDB to be restored.

Now this is a 12GB backup file to a disk with 28GB free! If I click ignore
it takes ages to finish but it finishes eventually. Never exceeding the
12GB. The backup and restore is done with Windows Backup.

These files are placed in the location of the redirected my documents,
meaning the servers share for backup reasons. They are not corrupt at the
SBS2000 share, opening and compacting in Outlook or Access gives no errors
or problems.

What is going on here? Can this be safely ignored?

TIA,

Fred
