using entourage data base on another volume

S

I am wondering if you can use the entourage databae on a different
volume from the default. Would like to have all the default location of
entourage on the server for backing up purposes. Can entourage define
where its default database is?

Thank you.

By default, Entourage data is stored in an identity folder within the
Microsoft User Data folder. That folder is located in
~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2004 Identities/<Identity>

(where ~ means the current user's home folder, usually located in
HD/Users/<Current User>/).

You can't change where Entourage will look for data, but you can move the
identity folder to another location and create an alias (drag with the
Command and Option keys depressed) in the original location. Then Entourage
should be able to read data located somewhere else.
