If you don't want to buy any additional software then you can use the backup program that came with Windows-2000. It is capable of backing up exchange databases. If you want to be able to restore individual mailboxes you will have to look at veritas or comvault, legato or some other backup soulution that has an exchange agent. Of course you will need a tape drive or some other backup device.
