If you download the lastest copy of Backup Exec from their site, you get all features, including Exchange Agent for the 30 day trial.
I have attached a screenshot of what you should see in backup exec if you have Excahgne Agent installed.(Not to the list, just Karen) ____________________________________________ Brian Dugas MIS Director Summit Technical Services, Inc.

If you're not seeing them there then I don't think you have the Exchange Agent installed. You don't back them up by selecting the edb files themselves, unless of course you're doing an offline backup. -Peter -----Original Message----- From: Karon Miller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 08, 2002 13:09 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Backing up Exchange 5.5 I don't get it. What gives you the impression I don't know what Circular Logging is? Just because I have it turned on. I would turn it off if we could figure out how to back up the edb files and could flush the log files.
