Ok, enough clients to make the investment into Bacula reasonable.

Client available, though I hope you don't have 64-bit versions of 
Vista, as the VSS doesn't work then with Bacula, I believe.

Ok... "Rerun failed level" and "Reschedule on Error" and friends might 
save you some manual backup runs when laptops are away.

Let me point you in the direction of "Enable VSS" in the manual, e.g. 
here: 
http://www.bacula.org/manuals/en/install/install/Configuring_Director.html#SECTION00870000000000000000

Unfortunately, pst files are not more efficient that way.

Definitely. Either itself, or hook it up to Nagios, for example :-)
