I want to backup all of exchange 5.5 before I update exchange with all the latest hotfixes but when I backup all the important directories associated with exchange there are aproximately 10 files in use which are .edb and .dat files. I don't have the open file option for veritas so I can't back them up that way. If I stop the services for exchange, can I then back them up? I am just cautious about this due to it demanded use 24 hours a day. Thanks
Brian
