I recently worked in an environment where we kept 3 fulls on disk at all time using NTbackup like this (and used file backup software to put the backup files to tape). Each full was kept in its own folder: Good (1 day old), Bad (2 days old), Ugly (3 days old). We just scripted it so that after NTbackup did its thing we rotate the backups out and what was in Ugly goes to tape.
If you can afford to keep your Exchange fulls on disk and rotate them like this, it speeds up recovery time quite a bit (being on gigabit ethernet helps as well).
