Exchange backup

In win2003 server, Premium edition which comes with the
Microsoft Exchange Server. Has anyone had or know of any
problem backing up the exchange server using the Backup
utility that comes with Win2003 server?
Or of any problemns with the Exchange server itself as far
as reliability?
Appreciate as much input as possible as we are looking at
purchasing the Premium edition.

Thanks

Are you referring to the Small Business Server 2003 Premium ? I have never
heard of Windows 2003 Premium.

The backup utility that comes with Server 2003 works fine with Exchange
2003. In any case you must use a backup program that is Exchange "aware" in
order for the Exchange database logfiles to be committed to the database.

Generally 3rd party backup programs with Exchange extensions are more
flexible in their configuration, but they are expensive.

Exchange is a good mail server, with the best web-mail of any mail server.
If you meant to inquire about SBS2003 see the newsgroup for Small Business
Server for more info.
