We are just beginning to use BackupPC running on a Debian Linux server to backup our Exchange Server 5.5 databases via rsyncd running on the Windows NT 4.0 server where Exchange is installed. Currently, we have bat files scheduled to run on our Windows NT 4.0 Exchange Server to stop Exchange servi

Jessie, It is possible to issue the commands from Linux to stop / start Exchange as you require if you use a third-party utility. See http://eol.ovh.org/winexe/index.php for the details. You may also be able to use the utility and back up Exchange without stopping the Exchange server *at all*
