This is discussed in detail at Microsoft Exchange Team Blog. http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2008/06/18/449031.aspx.Short answer, Windows 2008 backup will be an option in future. Can't say when.Bhargav Shukla - MSFT - Exchange Reference: Exchange Server 2007 TechCenter - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124558.aspx; Exchange Server 2003 TechCenter - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123872(EXCHG.65).aspx; Microsoft Exchange Team Blog - http://msexchangeteam.com/default.aspx

Hi Neil,Yes, I agree with Bhargav. Meanwhile you may need to go for Data Protection Manager or some third party backup software.http://www.microsoft.com/systemcenter/dataprotectionmanager/en/us/protect-exchange.aspxAmit Tank || MVP - Exchange || MCITP - Exchange 2007 || http://ExchangeShare.WordPress.com
