Since its not supported how has people backed up .pst files on a local
station to the server? Also how is Exchange more robust then Kerio?
Maybe I dont know everything Kerio can do out the box. Care to fill
me in?

You need to implement mailbox quotas now - a default set on the store - so
you can never hit the limit. People will keep all the junk they're permitted
to keep. If there's a business need for keeping mail forever, you need good
archiving - and not all archiving is good. You have to be able to
search/access/index it easily as well as back it up & restore it.
I know PST files used in
that method are not a great idea over a WLAN/LAN config
Yes - but here's the KB article stating it's entirely unsupported just so
you have more ammo to show management.http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297019
as well as the
whole PST idea.
Seehttp://www.exchangefaq.org/faq/Exchange-5.5/Why-PST-=-BAD-/q/Why-PST-....
I am supprised Microsoft hasnt tried to compete
against Kerio for example which has no store limit and has a built in
archive function. With the cost of exchange and then these add ons
can get pricey and quick
What add-ons do you mean? Archiving? You don't have to archive anything -
your users can just start deleting old crap :) Kerio doesn't do half the
stuff Exchange does, and is not aimed at the same market. SBS is pretty
inexpensive for a small business if they want Exchange. But people do need
to delete old crap - it's a fact of life.

I have users who archive there email to the server. I am starting to
find this creates issues. If we save it to there desktop there is no
issues BUT then we have no way to back it up. If you know of a
program to do this please let me know. I cant have them save it to
the server becuase we are about 20 gigs shy of hitting the exchange
limit. Suggestions and ideas?
PST files are not the answer (and are unsupported over a LAN/WAN
connection anyway).
Seehttp://www.exchangefaq.org/faq/Exchange-5.5/Why-PST-=-BAD-/q/Why-PST-...
for more on that subject.
You don't mention your version of Exchange (always do that!), but
presuming
you're on E5x/E2k, go to E2003/2007 and you won't have a 16GB limit
any
longer.
Or you could upgrade to Exchange Enterprise.
Or, you could look into third party server-side archiving products
(check
out GFI, Quest, Symantec, etc) to take care of this.
