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.

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.
