Only if you purchase a backup software. If you want to use windows backup you must shut down exchange because windows backup will not back up open files. Also, a file based backup is pointless because it takes the mail store in one fell swoop, it does not back up (nor allow you to restore) individual mailboxes. This is yet another high-cost item, backup software that is written to use the hooks in exchange to back it up is expensive. By contrast under UNIX, you can use tar to backup the /var/mail directories and you can definitely restore an individual mailbox if you want to.
