I need to get this old information out of the backup.ipd file so I can merge it into my new account somehow, I figured if I could convert this file to *.CSV or similar, I could simply merge this into outlook and be allset.
It's too bad Desktop Manager doesn't allow for merging of a backup via the restore function (only overwrite)... :(
Any Idea's?
TIA,

If all fails you do have the backup of the new so you at least can get that back.

:BUMP:
Anyone ?
How can I get this data off the backed-up IPD file and onto my exchange account?
Is there no way to convert *.ipd to *.csv or similar?
