If you have the Exchange agent installed in BE, and go into the Backup Selections tab, you should see the Directory and Information stores listed separately under your Exchange server, along with any disk drives and the selection for the mailboxes. If you're not seeing them there then I don't think you have the Exchange Agent installed. You don't back them up by selecting the edb files themselves, unless of course you're doing an offline backup.
