Unfortunately there is no way to reliably backup a .PST file that is open. I am currently struggling with the same issue. So i created two batch files to open and close outlook, however I cannot get them to work though backup exec. I know the batch files will work manually but the jobs always fail with  the command timed out error. I have adjusted the command execution time nothing seems to have any effect. The "run command on each server backup" option is selected. If anyone has any ideas please help us out.

 

command example:

 

Prejob command = c:\killoutlook.bat

Postjob command = c:\startoutlook.bat

I installed MOZY FREE Backup software on my computer by following their instructions.
After installation, my computer kept freezing and then I got the Windows Blue Screen of Death!
Basically, MOZY FREE Backup CRASHED my computer.  I could not even do a system restore. I had to restore my computer from scratch.  I am still in the process of putting back all my programs and files, this is very time consuming.
Furthermore, after I backed up my files, I could not retrieve them using another computer. It kept telling me that I had to register and install MOZY Backup, it just would not retrieve my previous registration.
I am still not able to retrieve my files.  Luckily, I kept local backups on some DVD's. MOZY may be free, but there is always a catch.  Please be aware Mozy free backup could crash your computer?
 Maybe that's how they get you; then they tell you have to purchase one of their plans???
FYI:  I have 2GB of RAM and a 2.0 GHz AMD processor and it still CRASHED it!
