We use folder redirection on our AD domain ( you can setup via local
group policy editor as well).  We setup a
\\server\redirection$\<username> share for each user, in that directory
we have a "my documents' folder and "outlook" folder.  We then move the
outlook pst file into the outlook, start outlook and point it to the
share to find the missing pst and then it gets included in every backup
we have of the server.  Does almost the same thing as what James wrote
below, but saves on all the Veritas licensing...

Thanks,
Shaun

Here we use Veritas' Backup Exec to back up our servers.  We also sprung
for the Desktop Laptop Option.  It will create on-the-fly backups of
your PST files.  It monitors for changes in selected directories and
files and automatically backs those up to a central storage server
either on a schedule or as soon as the change is detected.  We use it to
keep our users' PST files backed up and also to back up the "My
Documents" folders of our laptop users (desktop users have their "My
Documents" located on a file server).  It even does revisioning.  I
think the minimum amount of licenses we could buy for it was 100,
though.
