Import .PST File (Network Steve Forum)

Import .PST File

Hi,

A company which had there emails on our exchange server has just moved to a new domain and moved to office 365.

I was thinking of backing up their mailbox on a PST and then upload the PST to their office 365 and copy the mail to their Inbox.

I am trying to upload it with Microsoft Azure Storage Tools. The following error is prompting and I am sure that the path is entered good. I also tried changing paths.

The following is the error. Do you have an idea what is causing this or maybe is there any other way how I can upload my PST or a diffrent method of how I can import their mailbox?

Hi joswoody,

Could you add the exact commandline statement to you post? Just so we can confirm, as you did yourself, that there are not typos in it.

If the command used is not the issue, the error message would be really odd. Unless there is a access restriction issue but that should result in a different message.

AzCopy /source:\\192.168.0.103\e$\pst\test\backup-test.pst /dest:https://f5b******b284a6daa82d6d.blob.core.windows.net/ingestiondata/ /Destkey:****** /v:c:\Users\Jos\Desktop\uploadlog.log

Hi Jos,

According to the AZCopy documentation only file system directories, blob containers or blob virtual directories (f.e. '/' in the blob name to emulate subfolders).

To confirm this I tried using:

mklink /d "c:\FolderOnMachineRunningAZCopy\link" "\\TheMachineHoldingTheFiles\Share\"

AzCopy /source:c:\FolderOnMachineRunningAZCopy\link\Text.txt

and

net use x: \\TheMachineHoldingTheFiles \Share

AzCopy /source:x:\Folder\Test.txt

Both both methods return the same error (cannot find path).

Does this confirm and answer your question?

Yes the same error code will return if I try and use both.

Thanks.
