Hi,
We are looking for some backup tool which can help us to take backup of outlook PST and other data files in Full backup Mode as well as Differential Mode. any paid version is fine.
PS. It should be able to take outlook pst Data backup in differential / incremental Mode

There are many Pitfalls around implementing any PST "backup" functionality in an organization.
What you really want to look for is an Enterprise Archiving solution
Such solutions allow to mail items to be saved, just like in PSTs, but in a central location.
These Solutions also allow for users to recall their saved emails on demand, just as If it was saved in a pst. The best thing about these archives is that they can be backed up
A good one out there on the market is Exclaimer
http://www.exclaimer.com/email-archiving-software
So you only have to worry about backing up your archive, vs 100's of PSTs stored in various places around your network

ASKER CERTIFIED SOLUTION

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
So basically, any backup utility that supports these two things will work:
1) Volume Shadow Copy so that it can access files even when they're locked by another program
2) Block-level differential backups of files
Personally, I like CrashPlan:
