Hello, You can use the Win2k backup utility to back the the exchange information store. This will back up the whole store not individual mailboxes. If you want a snap-shot of a users mailbox you can use the exmerge utility, which will copy the users mailbox to a pst file. Veritas Backup Exec also has the ability to backup individual mailboxes automatically. However individual mailbox backups are slow in most cases.
