If you are unable to backup your Exchange and want to save space you can enable circular logging, however if your Exchange blows it will be very unlikely that you will be able to recover your mailboxes using Microsoft techniques. Instead you will either have to take your MBDATA folder to a data recovery place, or do it yourself using a piece of software from Ontrack.
