The EDB and the STM files are the database of Exchange, usually they are located in c:\program files\exchsrvr\MDBDATA, also you will have files .chk and .log which are the logs files.<br />
<br />
The best way to backup Exchange is to use your backup software to do online backup, if you don't have any you can use NTBACUP is really effective.<br />
<br />
here are some step by step articles:<br />

Repair/Reinstall/Find Exchange User Files/Folders

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.
