bks File format

Due to people deleting and losing their PST files, I have been trying to
write an exe, to backup the PST, I don't want to have to rewrite a Batch
file, and create a bks, and task everytime someone uses a machine, but would
like it to work from an exe, the exe finds the machine to backup to, this is
a constant, creates a bks, creates a bat file, calls said file from a
dosprompt, runs ntbackup, and fails to back anything up, have opened up a
bks created by NTBackup in notepad, it looks identical to the one I created,
but mine won't load into NTBackup, does anyone have any ideas.

If you attempt to backup a pst, whilst OL is open the backup will
fail/corrupt as also may the origonal pst.
Thought of using the free MS Outlook Backup addin?

How about using the autoarchive function? Maybe save it to a Home drive on a
server or something similar.

MS doesnt support the use of a pst over a network, can and does lead to
corruption
