Break the PST up into smaller ones on your machine first,
and then backup the smaller ones.

For example, I create a PST for each year as my archive.
Works great and copies easily.

You hit the nail on the head, even with the very small amount of info I gave you, very impressive!
The larger picture of entire backups is the main issue here.
Most users do store all their data on the network, not their local c:drive.
So really, their local machine only holds their pst file and maybe some internet favorites.
I do like the "network acces" for backups you speak of.
Would running a batch file on logoff/shutdown via Active Directory be a good or bad idea?
Basically copying their pst to a file server, and then tape backup of that.
