backing up exchange with backup exec 11d

[3rdJoey]

I will be performing a shink of the priv1 and pub1 tonight. Before I do that I am backing up the entire exchange server. So heres the question how do i ensure a complete backup? Should I dismount the store first so that I get a backup of the priv1, pub1 and the stm files?

Thanks,

As long as you have the Exchange add-on for 11d, a normal backup of the Exchange server will get your IS, which is what you'll want. Be sure you select it specifically in your backup.
