Re: NTBackup finished the backup with errors.

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I don't know much about the Symantec products. But some specifically include
A/V for exchange - you want that. Also, with any A/V product (and you do
need protection on the server filespace), you must set exclusions for the
exchange database locations (and some other locations). You should be able
to find lots of information searching this newsgroup.

Perhaps someone who knows the Symantec products can jump in with some tips.
