Carl - thanks for the help. Can I do a system state backup on a different server while backing up the Exchange Server?

With a lock. You aren't backing up System State at the same time as Exchange are you? > And will any of these options affect the Exchange backup? No. The Exchange Agent knows what to do. Which is why you have so few options on the Exchange options screen and, unless you have a reason to do otherwise (i.e. Michael B. Smith or Mark Fugatt tells you so), leave the defaults alone.
