Hi Josh
If you have a sharepoint instance running somewhere, you can use:
http://www.codeplex.com/pfmigration/...ReleaseId=7674
....to put your public folders into a sharepoint site. You can then
copy them out of sharepoint to a local drive quite easily as all
sharepoint sites can be accessed via UNC syntax to expose the files
within (allowing you to do a drag and drop via explorer).
I can't offer you any help with this tool as I've never used it, but I
just remembered it from finding it in the process of looking for
something else ;-)
btw, if you don't have sharepoint anywhere, your Windows Server 2003
can add a local instance as a feature very easily (WSS 2.0).
Hope this helps,
