Retrospect 5.1 now has a script that can shut down your Exchange server to
back it up, then restart it
(http://www.dantz.com/index.php3?SCREEN=pr_retro51_win). My Exchange
administrator was very interested when I showed him this; but, we haven't
tried it yet.

Subject: RE: [WinMac] NT backup for Registry/Exchange
Retrospect does not do live exchange backups, but even without that option,
it is IMO the best backup software around for the price. I have used several
apporaches to exchange backups, with varying levels of success.
1. Offline Backup. For a while I had a scheduled offline backup which shut
down the exchange services and copied the mail store and associated files to
a separate drive. This drive was then backup up using retrospect. Upside is
that this is IMO the easiest backup to recover with. Downside is that file
copies take a long time if your information store is large and you may not
want your server offline for that long. I can send you the cmd file that
will do this if you are interested.
