1. Read the threads on using shadow mounts to backup open files like
   pst's. If you want, you can use the script that I posted to the
   group for automagically setting up and taking down shadow mounts

2. I also wrote a script, BackupPC_deleteFile for selectively deleting
   one or more files from one or more backups. One could presumably
   automate it to regularly delete past pst files using a simple cron
   job or equivalent. Again check out the archives.
