Why the message about the PST (data file) in outlook 2013?

Options
Hi folks,

I use outlook 2013 as my email client, and also use Acronis true image to image the drive.

When I do restore the image of the drive with Acronis, and open outlook I always get a message when Outlook starts about the PST data file and to delete it.

Even though that restored Acronis image is only a week old.

Usually to stop the message I just delete my email account in Outlook 2013 and reconfigure it again which gets rid of the annoying message.

But a little time consuming, just wonder why I am getting that message atall, if anyone can explain?
Thanks

  • The database unique key doesnt match the current period so it throws it out and thinks its corrupt is the best way of explaining it.
  • Thanks for reply.


    So it seems no other way around it, if I restore a drive backup I will have to delete that file or as I do delete and then reconfigure my email account.
    Thanks again

    I carried out a quick Google for "Acronis problems" after recalling seeing them on another forum some weeks ago. Try Googling that, there are apprently others having similar problems. I use Macrium Reflect Free, have done for years, no problems using it and no problems with any images or clones of the 5 family PC's that are backed up to my NAS.

    I think this job really needs
    a much bigger hammer.

    Thanks,


    I don't think its an Acronis problem as it restores perfectly, its t do with outlook 2013.


    Yep I have Reflect too a very good program, just used Acronis more often.
  • It might actually be quicker to not backup the file at all and always start afresh
