brick level backups take forever and are prone to error. at least in backup exec, you will get spurious errors logged in the event log making you think you're mailstore is corrupted. also brick level backups are not supported by MS and do not use exchange API's but the vendors own properiatary methods(whatever they may be).

They can be useful, but I think that with Exchange 2003 you can achieve better results with recovery storage groups. If you still want to use brick level backups, don't rely on them for disaster recovery: make sure you still run your full and incremental/differential backups in addition to the brick level backups.
