Hi, In Windows Server 2003, you can use NTBackup. How to back up and restore an Exchange computer by using the Windows Backup programttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/258243 Windows Server 2008 does not include a backup utility that supports the Exchange ESE streaming backup APIs. The Windows 2008 backup application, Windows Server Backup, cannot be used to take backups of Exchange. You can use Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2007 or a third-party backup application. See the following article: http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2008/03/05/448338.aspx[chapter: Exchange-Aware Backups on Windows Server 2008] Hope this helps. Thanks, Elvis
