I would get the Exchange plug-in for Veritas BE and backup the entire store, reset the archive bit and clear the logs..<br />
If you do not backup the store that way, the log files will continue to grow and run your server out of disk space.<br />
<br />
When you backup the store that way, you technically do not need to back up the database files.

thanks for the quick response. &nbsp; Your answer brings me more questions though. &nbsp; I have Exchange Agent - is this what you mean by &quot;Exchange plug-in?&quot; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
<br />
When you say &quot;entire store&quot; &nbsp; - what does this mean? &nbsp; Are you saying that I can ignore the &quot;Program files&quot;<br />
<br />
Do I reset the archive bit and clear the logs from Backup Exec job properties?<br />
<br />
Sorry to hit you with these questions but your answer assumes too much about my knowledge.

When you say "entire store"   - what does this mean?   Are you saying that I can ignore the "Program files"

Do I reset the archive bit and clear the logs from Backup Exec job properties?

Which Exchange folder do I backup

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.

Exchange

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
