Hi just installed the latest version of Office and wanted to know where the
email are held on the system to make sure that they are included in my daily
back-up to a secure off-site server

if the database gets written during the backup you can either (1) lose some
data or (2) have a corrupt backup file. If you are not writing
anything...e.g., no automatic Send & Receive All schedule...you can back up
without quitting anything. To be absolutely safe, you should quit Entourage
before backup. The Daemon isn't really a problem because it does not write
to the file; it just reads it. If you are not sure and want to guarantee a
good backup, close Entourage before backing up."
As a general rule you should shut down all programs (including Office
Notifications) before any backups. However, users have reported that as long
as the database is not being used during backup there is no problem.
