http://www.msexchange.org -------------------------------------------------------Actually, if you are going to do a blb, exmerge may be the very best tool to do it... But more specifically, a blb is any backup that is using MAPI to access the mailbox content instead of using the Exchange backup API. A blb should NEVER be used "instead of" an Exchange-aware backup, and arguably (because of security and performance considerations) should never be used at all.
