Initialy i used NT backup utility and now i am using Arc server backup. I am taking regular backups. But when i read this artical http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Exchange-Dial-tone-Restore-Method-Part2.html in fig 10 you can see a folder called "logs" is selected but i cant locate it in my NT backup or Arc server utility. I know that logs are stored in <drive:>\program files\exchsrv\MDBDATA\ by default, but these are not listed in NT backup utility or Arc backup so that i can just click and select the logs to be backed up. I need to manualy go to the directory and select it. So i want to know should i manualy select these logs or if i just select storage goups will this take care of logs also?? Can you please explain.

The detail (up to a point) is not yours to worry about. That said your backup is no use unless you're practiced in restoring it under a varying set of circumstances and then a knowledge of the details will be very useful. Get backing up and aim to understand what is going on and practice recovery. Needless to say you can drown in information from Microsoft and there are several worthy Exchange 2003 books which can help out. Practice recovery in the lab is essential. As you're asking the question I presume you're not well acquainted with the complexities this subject can offer. Keep it simple to start with and backup to tape or disk using Microsoft's built-in backup would be my initial approach. Once you understand better what you're after the complexities if needed can follow.
