Actually the way OTM works is by taking a snapshot of an open file and
putting it in a temp folder and then backing that up. When it is through it
will delete the temp folder. You do need to make sure the cache file is
large enough to hold the amount of files you specified to backup at one
time.

In that case, is there any way to backup an open PST file with Netbackup?

If I understand it correctly, OTM can't actually force a backup of an
open file.  It simply keeps a record of files that were open during the
initial pass and tries to go back to them later.  If the file never
closes (as may be the case for some people's PST) then OTM won't help.
