agreed - if your BackupExec is Exchange aware (meaning it's the regular version with Exchange agent) or the SBS version, it'll work fine.
I run Backup Exec 10 (the SBS version) on one of my SBS 2003 boxes.

If you purchase the Small Business Server version of Backup Exec it will be able to do it out of the box. If you just buy Backup Exec for Windows Servers, you will need to add the Exchange agent at considerable extra cost.

You can use VERITAS Backup Exec 10.0 to backup Exchange 2003. However you need install the Agent for Exchange Server first.
