Need to backup from OWA to local PST (not outlook)

We have a situation and need to backup from OWA accounts to PST.
We have all username and passwords and would like to keep a second copy of the PST as the provider hosting crashed once and corrupted all emails. We are worried now and would like a second copy into a PST as a precaution.

1. We dont want to pay annual subscriptions for the software
2. We dont want to install outlook and export to PST as we need regular scheduled copies.
3. We use Migration Wiz however uploads from PST but does not copy to PST and works brilliant exchange to exchange - not sure if anything else like this?

Thanks in advance

Hi Leroy
Thanks for reply.
We are a reseller of backup assist.
The issue is we don't have access to the server backend. Only owa.
Price is no issue just don't want subscription based pricing.

Hi Andy
Thanks for reply
As above don't have access to backend.
Only owa
Yes I know about scripts to export very easy. Appreciate response.
Hmm, in that case it's very limited. To my knowledge there's no tool that can extract emails from Outlook and put them into a PST - you typically either need access to the backend exchange server or have the account setup in Outlook to backup the emails.
For incoming mails I might have a solution : Ask the provider to set each mailbox to forward to a gmail account or yahoo account then alt east you have inbound mail backed up.

For outbound mail you can setup that a copy gets delivered to gmail aswell but it wont sit in the "sent box".

I am not sure of any other possibilities with only access to owa.
