by PST file or define the same folder. If this field is empty, field N5 must be filled,
otherwise, the Apply button will be gray out.
3. Use this option to compress PST files when they are saving. It can be compressed
up to 50%, and dont take much more time (+10~15%) than if you save it
uncompressed.
4. Give a destination folder for PST files that will be creating by the user in the future.
Newly created PST files will be automatically added to the backup plan. If field N2

folder by user.

the default logo as shown on the screen capture. Otherwise, you can specify the full path to
an image. For example: C:\Temp\Pst Backup 2013.png

locally while installing the software.

active, backups will occur only if the computer is in the same subnet than the destination or
if the computer is in the same subnet than one provided.

Examples:

Computers A, B and C are in the same subnet than the file server. They will be allowed to save their
PST files to the file server.
Computer D is on a remote site and needs to go through a WAN link to save its PST files. If you use
the option Dont backup if the destination is not on the same subnet, then, Computer D will not
be allowed to save its PST files. Backups will be postponed until the computer comes back to the
headquarter.

PST Backup 2013 Documentation

Computer D is not in the same subnet than the File Server. To allow Computer D to save its PST files
to the File Server, you will need to add 192.168.254.0/24 to the list of additional subnets.
