Backup Exec does "live" backups. It uses the Exchange backup API's to get you a consistent backup of a live mail server. why would you do a flat file backup? and when you say flat file of your priv and pub stores, does this include the trans logs and checkpoint file or just the .edb and .stm files?

It is simply called retrospect exchange backup. Pretty small actually, it does the bachup to a location and also has scheduling, which is temperamental at best. John Parker, MCSE IS Admin.

I currently use Backup exec to perform my nightly backups. I like it, it seems to work just fine. I also use a small retrospect piece that does a live backup to a flat file 4 times throughout the day. I was wondering if anyone else is performing "Hot" backups throughout the day and if so, what are you using? We are running Exchange 2000 on server 2000. Thank you. John Parker, MCSE IS Admin.
