Do not back up exchsrvr\*data directories as all the data those directories is transient or the files are open. The only exception is exchsrvr\kmsdata (if you use it), which you can only back up successfully if you shut down the Key Management Server service first.

Or should I still backup the <program files\exchsrvr> directory but deselect the mdb data directory? I thought I had set up the backup procedure so that I wasn't doing BLB's but I had to examine the procedure closely as I am having trouble getting all our data onto a 40/80gb dltIV tape with hardware compression enabled (otherwise software). I've had a look at the faq and had a good search around the archives etc but cannot find a definitive answer on this.
