I just did an install of win2k server, then sp3 and any critical windowsupdates, then installed exchange 5.5 and then sp4 for exchange. I then (manually) used the "built-in" backup program of win2k to backup the exchange server. There is a separate exchange "branch" in the explorer interface that shows both this server and the other server here and lets you individually check the IS and the DS. I will either need to automate it like Pete, or purchase Veritas 8.6 plus the exchange option. If somebody knows that this is not a good combo (win2k+exchange5.5 using ntbackup) please let me (and Pete) know.
