1. Who is saying to stop Exchange services? You should only backup Exchange
with either NTBackup on the Exchange server (once you install Exchange,
NTBackup becomes Exchange aware) or using a 3rd party backup software with
an Exchange agent.
2. No, there is no reason to be backing up the MDBDATA folder or its
contents using normal file backup. See 1 above.
3. I believe IIS Metadata is included in a systemstate backup of the
computer it is on. Some one correct me if I am wrong.
4. Systemstate backup should be done on each server, not just the Exchange
server nor not just the domain controller.
