Make sure that you also add the &quot;/p&quot; switch to the end of the command to preserve the old files. Otherwise, eseutil will automatically copy back the new file and overwrite your existing database files. Never a good thing, as you want to ensure the defrag happened normally. You'll need to have the space to save the old files as well.

While running the offline defrag using the ESEUTIL utility, it creates a new DB. However, if you don't have sufficient space to hold the new one and where the existing one resides, how do you set it where it creates the new DB on a different drive? Is there a command to point the new DB to a portable mapped drive? What are the gotchas, if any? Thanks.<br />
