public folder backup/export

I currently testdrive scalix and can say i'm quite impressed about the outlook connection and the overall implementation!
However one problem arises for me:
I need users to work on central contacts folder (public folder) - this works quite well from outlook and outlook can use this as addressbook aswell.

However my question is it possible to export these contacts server side via script? I checked all the BB commands but could none of them get to export any contact information!? I also did not manage to retrieve these contact information via ldap!?

Second question what about backup of the public folder - without the need to restore whole scalix?
The community ombackup and omrestore scripts work quite well on a per user base - how about backing up public folder(s) and restoring them with needing to restore whole scalix (including mailboxes)?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Kind Regards,

Martin.

There is a replacement for omcpoutu / omcpinu in Scalix 11 that will allow you to export the Public folders seperately.
