I don't touch Outlook (shivers).  While I don't disallow it, I consider 
it an "unsupported application", which means that anyone who chooses to 
use it is on their own for backups.  As for the user profiles, Windows 
NT domains have a special user group called "Backup Admins" that have 
read (but not execute) access to everything.  So, the user set up in the 
BackupPC config can grab a copy of everything. At least, I haven't found 
anything yet that was a problem.
