I know I'm replying to my own email, but I found this whitepaper http://eval.symantec.com/mktginfo/enterprise/white_papers/b-whitepaper_netbackup_for_ms_exchange_server_02-2009_20016957.en-us.pdf
the link for which I thought might be helpful to someone else searching for similar info.

We're a brand new NetBackup site.. converting from another backup solution entirely. Basic stuff going well, got windows, solaris, HP-UX, linux clients all happily backing up. Now on to the "harder" stuff! We are currently running Exchange 2007, so I started reading the "NetBackup for Microsoft Exchange Server Administrator's Guide" and my eyes kind of glazed over. It seems to me there are like 4 different kinds of backups for Exchange.. that GRT (Granular Recovery) that seems to need NFS for windows (UGH), snapshot backups, Instant Recovery backups, and MAPI backups. Is there a document that succinctly explains these and the differences? What method of backup for Exchange do most NetBackup installations employ? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
