Re: Veritas backup for SBS2000?

Actually the version Dell sold me was a version before 8.6. I couldn't get
it to backup anything and eventually returned it. When you say NTBACKUP is
"exchange aware" do you mean it will backup exchange? The native MS backup
program that came with SBS 2000 I am using now will not backup Exchange. At
least I have not been able to get it to backup exchange.
