Moving mail items Public Folder to General Purpose
I am working by a company now. The have Windows 2003 SBS standard. The configuration they have at the moment, is a public folder. This public folder contains 20gb+ of data, with years of 2003/4/5. Now is this to big for a normal backup (it's a small company) and there for I made several extra Public Folders, this is a type "General Purpose". Now is it impossible at first site to move message's between different "public folders". I searched on google and found on google groups this link: Moving mail items from a Public Folder to a General Purpose Folder But it didn't worked for me, is there any else who has found a solutions?

by default there is a size limit on exchange databases with 2003. exchange 2003 sp2 raises this limit, but you have to do some manual configuring. it might be related to your issue: http://www.petri.co.il/change_store_size_limits_ex2003_sp2.htm

I know the issue of the store limits and there a maximum 75GB. But that is not the issue. 75GB is to big for backupping, there for I made a new Public Folder tree of the type "General Purpose". But I can't move any messages between this public folders, because the General Purpose is only accessble by OWA.

while i'm not arguing that this is in fact your issue - the limit is only 18GB by default. you have to edit the registry if you want to use 75

I have done that a long time ago. The first public folder of the kind "imap" is +- 25gb, with kind of things of the year of 2005. I want this to move to another public folder tree of the kind "general purpose".
