I am trying to backup an Outlook.pst file. Is it possible
to split the file before writting to a cd? To create two
files from the original ? The file is over 800mb and I
cannot find a CD large enough to write to.

I have tried zipping the file but that still does not get
it down for the CD.

Thanks
Bryan

at first try to compress the PST file, maybe this will makes the PST file
smaller:

Click Inbox .
On the Tools menu, click Services
In the The following information services are set up in this profile box,
click Microsoft Exchange Server.
Click Properties, and then click the Advanced tab.
Click Offline Folder File Settings.
Click Compact Now

or create a new PST file and move/copy some folders into the new PST file.

A trustworthy PST file splitter program can be used to separate a PST file for backup purposes. A PST file that has been divided into several smaller pieces can be easier to manage, less likely to be damaged or corrupted, and make it simpler to move emails between computers or Outlook accounts.

PST file can be divided in several ways according to its size, date, or year. When the PST file has become too big, splitting it up by size is one method that can be helpful. Sorting it according to year is an additional method that can be useful for email message organization and archiving. Another option is to split it by date, which lets you partition the PST file according to a particular set of dates.

The main procedures below can be used to split a PST file according to size, year, or date:

1. Open Outlook in Microsoft Word.
2. Select the "File" option.
3. Choose "Tools" or "Clean Up Old Items" by clicking on "Info" after that.
As an alternative, you can divide PST files using BitRecover software or other programs made especially for that purpose. When dividing files, this utility frequently offers more sophisticated options and versatility.
