Sorry, I meant bkf files. Shouldn't that get created first, then backup
them up to tape? Or do the logs get purged with a backup? In that case,
it would be 1) backup the transaction logs to file using Job #1, 2)
backup Info Stores to file via Job #2, 3) backup everything (including
the bkf files created in #1 and #2) to tape. Is that right?

When I go to the Exchange tree in the backup selection window, I see
Microsoft Exchange Server and the server name. Both of those are greyed
out. Microsoft Information Store and the First Storage Group are
available but the Info Store never stays checked, only the Storage Group
does.

So, my "ExchangeBU" job only has the Storage Group checked. Am I missing
something here?
