I crashed our upstairs computer's hard drive and lost EVERYTHING! Including
my old OS 9 version of Netscape, which was how I accessed this group. We
use Microsoft Office's Entourage for email, but I can't for the life of me
figure out how to get this newsgroup into it. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Gantt,

In Entourage, go to the Tools menu and select Accounts. Click on the News
tab. Give the account a name like "PARIS News", and fill in the other info
it asks for, then click on the Server tab. Insert this:

news.parisnewsgroup.com

Hit OK. Now you should see "PARIS News" as one of the selections in the
Folders column on the left side of Entourage. Double click and it should go
get the various groups for you. Select the group you want to view.

I did this from memory as I'm not in front of my Mac right now, so I hope
it's close. If you still have trouble, I can help more when I get home
tonight.

Tony

I recommend Thunderbird. Open source. Mail and newsgroups. Great.

Free download at: http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird/

Wow Aaron. Mac guru? It's more like Mac goof goo. To be honest, I haven't
taken the time figure out a good way. I'm sure I've stumbled across the
email folders somewhere in the finder before, but never thought much about
backing them up. I have three Macs connected to the internet right now, and
I do from time to time import the email folders from one machine to another.
Entourage has an import feature somewhere, but I can't remember the exact
menu. I also cut and paste really important emails into Word and save a copy
there. I guess I don't get enough really important emails that I've been
real worried about it. It'll probably bite me someday (finding wood to knock
as I speak). I bet one of the real Mac / Entourage gurus out there in cyber
space knows. ;>)

For almost all of my major Mac backups, I use Carbon Copy Cloner:

http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html

or psync:

http://www.bombich.com/software/files/psync.dmg

With 10.4 (tiger), you can also use the built in "rsync" command, which is
what I typically use on linux computers...

Hey Doug,
Thanks for the back up tips man! What I'm looking for in this case is to
merely backup the Entourage mail folder.. is there a file (something similar
to outlook/pst files) that I can grab that would be importable later down
the road, should I need it?

Thanks!
AA

HI Phil!

What's up? Haven't heard from you in ages. Which issue? I've gotten
Entourage configured to read the newsgroup. The hard drive, however, is
what it is... All the old data are history. I have a firewire drive for
backup now, so hopefully it'll never happen again!

Gantt - what method are you using to back up Entourage?
(IE, what files would I need to copy over and how are they reintegrated if
Entourage bites it again ?)

I'm using something called Carbon Copy Cloner. I think it just makes a disk
image on another drive, but I'm not sure. As to how to restore anything
after a crash... Your guess is as good as mine! I'm hoping I'll never need
to find out.

The only viable backup I could locate was to drag and drop the folders off
to a desktop, and burn to CD...... seems kinda limited to me in restoring
and settings though.
