A user of mine has 99% full disk space. They need their files for future reference but need to get rid of them somehow.
I want to export all Outlook data from 1/1/2022 and older, save it to their OneDrive, and then delete what I just exported from the exchange server.
Whats the most efficient way of doing that?
I tried archiving but I learned that makes a copy of the data and keeps it on the server.
I tried doing an export, but that appears to be almost the same as archiving but just not a "live" version.
I tried manually searching a date range, moving them to a folder, and then deleting them, but that was going to take FOREVER because of how long it took to load.
A user of mine has 99% full disk space.
In that case you can limit the size of cached data in Outlook or just consider using the non-cached mode where all the data will be retrieved from the Exchange server online. For example:
You can read more about that in the Managing Outlook Cached Mode and OST File Sizes article.

I need to protect my Microsoft Word document against text copying.
I have found a solution in restricting the permissions described here.
Instead of "No Changes (Read only)", I use "Filling in forms" and then insert the password.
My question is: is this way really safe? Can't someone hack my password?
PS: I have read that it is possible to save the document as HTML and then to find the hex version of pass in the code of the document. But I myself couldn't decrypt it.
As long as anybody can read it, there's no way you can prevent people from copying and pasting it in another file with a 100% success.
Even if selection is disabled, you would still need to deal with the analog hole. In layman's terms, there's nothing you can do to prevent people from, for example, printing it then OCRing it to a new Word document, getting an editable version that way.
That said, you're probably better exporting to PDF if you want to prevent most people from editing them.
I agree completely with what Marcos says. However there is a more secure way than using forms protection (which is in no way secure!) to prevent copying from within the Word application interface. Look up the term "Information Rights Management" in connection with the version of Office you're using.

I am thinking of putting all my files under version control in order to be able to reset old files.
I will commit Every day or so adding or removing the changes that I did to the physical drive.
Are there any drawbacks to this? Will it be too space consuming?
Edit: I am thinking about branching capabilities.
Example: I have a branch with media, a branch with source code, a branch including personal files I wouldn't like to be accessible to every user of my PC, etc..
This would depend on what you have on your HDD. If you have your OS on it, then most likely not. OSes tend to create a lot of temporary files; your .git will be extremely big. Furthermore, applications also generate a lot of junk, which would be completely useless to put under version control.
But if this is a secondary HDD, and you don't have a lot of files constantly changing, then perhaps. Again for the same reason as above, your git diffs would be extremely large. Even though git compresses diffs, it would be almost as large if not more than your actual data (over time). Git isn't designed to be a backup system. Then there is also the concern of security depending where you hope to store your git repo. Making your system files publicly accessible is probably not a very good idea.
If you want something close to version-control, at my last workplace we used Crash Plan. Its pretty great. But there is a lot of similar options out there.

Here's the problem:
somehow a folder on my MS Outlook got deleted (don't ask...)
Fortunately, Outlook compacts and stores all the info from inbox, sent, and all folders.
This is saved as a DBX file under "Documents and settings / owner / local settings / application data / identities / (identity)
I can find these files, but how do I restore them?
I cannot import or export them.
Is there a way to restore / convert or other?
To recover your email do the following
Sign in to your Outlook.com account (via a Computer/Laptop)
Go to your Deleted folder (found on the left pane under Folders)
Look for "Lost a message?", and click "recover deleted messages"

I'm working as service desk guy. An user has reported today, that he's unable to start his Lotus Notes client because of getting this error: Problem with ID. I have asked our Lotus Notes/Domino administrators if they have any idea what might be wrong, but they just simply turned me down saying the user should ask his local IT team for help, which is hardly a solution, because the user is somewhere in Asia on weak (if any) internet connection most of the time.
I'm quite positive something must be wrong with his local ID file, because he is able to send e-mails from Lotus Traveler and probably webmail too (but hasn't confirmed that yet).
I would be grateful for any suggestions what might be causing the error and how to fix it.
If the Id file is corrupt then the only solution is to replace the id file with a working copy. There is no "id- fixup" or any other cure for a defective id.
In an environment, where all possibilities that IBM delivers are in use, getting a new id file is as easy as deleting the old one and restarting the client.
This function is called "Id Vault".
Without a vault, someone at the helpdesk has to either
- recover the ide using the id recovery (if in use, it is the function that was used before id vault)
- get the id file from a backup
- recreate the id file (loosing all encrypted data that has been encrypted with the broken id)
So: there is nothing for you to do, as all of these steps need a domino- administrator.
As written earlier: the only chance is to rename the id... If ID Vault is in place, it will be automatically recreated

Message from wepage popups in my yahoo email account. I need to x the box several times to unfreeze my computer. Then, it keeps popping up. And this occcurs before I even open any mail. exact message: "message from webp, then hi, then 40401508, then 1"

Run any anti-virus or anti-malware utility of your choosing on your computer. Follow any instructions that it provides on how to clean and remove whatever cruft is causing this. There are lots of free versions available online, but you should consider purchasing a subscription to a well-regarded utility from a reputable company. These days, browsing the Internet without protection is just asking for trouble!
If that doesn't work, the next step is backing up your important data, erasing your computer's disk, and re-installing your operating system from scratch. It sounds drastic, but it's really not all that bad. Plus, it will fix any other problems you've been having and probably speed up your machine noticeably.
