This behavior is by design; Microsoft designed VSS to exclude OST files from
the shadow copy. OST files are expensive to back up and useless in a recovery.
The .tmp file that you see probably is a copy that shouldn't exist in the first
place - maybe antivirus software scanned the OST file and made this copy
(solution: exclude OST files from antivirus scans - bad things will happen if
you don't).

Subject:[Bacula-users] Backing Up Windows 7 with VSS
To:bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net;
Hello All,
I am attempting to backup a win7 64-bit machine. It is using VSS as needed and
the backup runs with no errors or warnings. The problem I have encountered is
that there is an Outlook .ost file that is about 4GB in size. When I was
looking at the files that were backed up using bconsole and restore, the
filename is prefixed with a "~" and the given a ".tmp" extension. After I mark
that file and then use estimate it says 1 file to restore, 5,832,704 bytes.
Which is definitely not the right size.
I see in the messages:
JobId 143: Generate VSS snapshots. Driver="VSS Vista", Drive(s)="C"
and several:
JobId 143: VSS Writer (BackupComplete):
and that the fd and sd backed up and wrote about 85GB.
I am not sure why the oct file did not get backed up correctly?
Ideas?
Thanks,
jim
