Hi Robert,
I had the same problem here and the solution is quite easy with bacula:
1. I created a batch file on the client (i.e. c:\bacula\before_back.bat)
2. create a VBS Script with the following code:
Dim oOL
Set oOL = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
oOL.Quit
3. save it as c:\bacula\close_outlook.vbs
4. add the following to start the vbscript in your batch
Cscript "c:\bacula\close_outlook.vbs"
5. In the director configuration you have to add the following in your
job-definition
Client RunBeforeJob= "c:/bacula/before_back.bat"
The above will start the batch on the client before the backup begins.
The VBS Script connects to Outlook and Closes it. I have some additional
functions in the batch (save registry and so on) which makes it
necessary to have an additional batch file.
Cheers,
Michael

I can't answer your question but this may be of some help. It's a free
program from Microsoft that backs up your pst files. It works well I
used it for a couple of years before I dropped Windows for Solaris.
If the URL is broken search Microsoft for pftbackup.exe
