There's another way as well. As part of the login script, supply a BAT that
copies the PSTs on the local system to the server. Your normal server backups
will then have access to fairly new PSTs that aren't locked by Outlook while
still allowing Outlook to operate on local PSTs.

It's not likely that an Archive PST on a network share will be damaged, but
why take the chance?
