I use Microsoft Outlook 2007 with the Outlook Connector to sync my Live Mail accounts. The backup tool in Windows 7 will smartly backup the C:/Users/User/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Outlook/ folder's PST files. Yeah! Except for users like me using the Outlook connector, the meat is kept in an OST file (offline outlook cache file) while the PST file is a paltry few kilobytes of nothingness.
Here's where it get worse. I can specifically add the entire Outlook appdata folder to the backup set & all the other cruddy xml and obi files get backed up, EXCEPT the OST cache file! The backup tool must be set to skip this file type. Is there any way to back this up?
Even the additional download pack to add the backup functionality within Outlook applies only to PST files.
My only options I see (neither are desirable):
Any help?

My only options I see (neither are desirable):
- auto archive emails in a PST which will be backed up
- install a 3rd party backup that doesn't ignore OST files
Any help?
