Here's the File History Log - I was wrong about the delay, it wasn't as long as I had thought. But if I look at the History for Outlook.pst, I have a version date-stamped 03:05 19/11/2012 and 18:34 20/11/2012 and nothing in between.
As I have no taken to closing Outlook 2007 around 18:00, you can see that yesterday the Archived.pst was backed up at 185:50 after it missed the 11:30 backup.
The Outlook.pst file missed a backup at 9:41 on 16/11/2012 and wasn't backed up until 5:20 on 17/11/2012
It is the whole unpredictability of the backup that I don't like - at least if I backup at 19:00 every day, I can be sure that I've got a backup from that time whereas now it's all a bit hit and miss.
