Cy,

Make sure you understand that the link you posted refers to restoring SharePoint to the original server. If you want to restore on a completely new server the following document describes the process http://support.microsoft.com/?id=827701

The following link shows the syntax on how to backup just a site collection (e.g. http://companyweb) or perform a catastrophic backup. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc287967.aspx

Thank you costas you've been very helpful. I actually looked into this link
that explains it.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;829112&Product=sbs

explains where you can do it via NTbackup or stsadmin. it also gives and
example of a script you can create for a daily backup.

I'm just curious about the synax of stsadmin if you can only point it to the
default. http://companyweb. Anyway I just wanted to thank you for you help
and post this extra link for anyone to use.

For SharePoint, you should look into 'stsadm -backup' command. Search
Microsoft's site for backup and recovery for SharePoint sites. Make sure
you understand the differences between backing up a site vs. backing up for
a disaster scenario. There is a write up on the site that shows the
different options you can provide on the stsadm.exe utility. You can then
create a scheduled task to perform this task

For Exchange you can also create a scheduled task using NTBackup to backup
the Information Store, along with the System State.
