Try Veritas Backup Exec (8.6). This can be set up to back up to defined folders. You could always use mirrored drives although this will be of no use for a corrupt database.

Possibility: First, bring down your Exchange Server so it is not running. Once this task is completed, you will able to copy the pub.mdb & priv.mdb to another part of the drive. Rename these files to *.bak. Then, go ahead and restart your Exchange Server.
Of course, these files are static for that one time. If you want to do this, say, every night, create a batch file that will bring down the services and perform a copy, overwriting the *.bak files and restarting your services. Be warned - these *.mdb files can be huge!

If you have a Win2k server, you can use NTBackup. You must also install the Exchange Administrator on that Win2k server. NTBU will then display Exchange icons and will provide a "proper" backup of the databases. You can direct the backup to any storage medium on the network.
