I found the FAQ for problems backing up pst files at:

http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/limitations.html

Does anyone know if the VSS has been added to client?

Or has anyone successfully implemented a bacula/backuppc marriage to backup pst files?

The BackupPCd agent that's mentioned in the limitations page hasn't been actively developed for a while, and is incomplete. Currently, BackupPC runs with clientless configuration with no support for Volume Shadow Services. Adding an interface to another program would require adding an Xfer object, but this is probably not the optimal solution to the problem.

Adios,
