Heh, if the boss doesn't want to pay for the extra tape capacity to do a
full backup, he sure aint gonna like the price of Legato!

I've never used it, but Legato has a product aimed at laptop users that
sounds like what you are asking for:
http://www.legato.com/products/laptop/?mode=features
We do use Legato here, but not the "laptop" product mentioned above.
Legato Networker is a pain to use and maintain, and their support is
terrible, but I have to say that if Legato says something is backed up,
it has never let me down when I've needed to recover.
Another option: how about a local NT (or Linux/samba, or Filer, or
Netware, or ...) file server at each office. Have the users keep their
PST files on it and use a local tape drive (or even extra disks) for
backup.

OK, so perhaps I should add a little more information here.
Believe me, I KNOW .pst files are bad. And, in light of what follows, I
have already started looking for another job.
We are currently merging two companies. My IT director wants ALL remote
Exchange servers removed from ALL offices across Europe and for ALL
users to connect Outlook directly to central servers in the UK over VPN.
Some of this work has been done and naturally, users are complaining
about speed issues and performance. Especially those on a 256K link! :)
So, rather than backing down, he wants ALL remote users to have RPC
connectivity to the central servers and use .pst files for their mail.
(ouch!) But...he doesn't want the whole .pst file backing up every time
because...some users have 1Gb .pst files!!! Now you understand why I am
looking for another job. My arms are not nearly long enough to keep this
at sufficient arms length! Instead, he wants an incremental backup on
the file. Then, for it to be backed up on a networked server.
So, until I find another job, any suggestions?

Hi,
A *little* off target I know, but can anyone recommend a product that
does incremental backups of .pst files? I only want to backup what has
changed in the file rather than the whole thing.
