Install exchange administrator console (from exchange cd)
Install the Backoffice resource kit (from Technet cds, Blue utilities set, Sept99=nt4 Nov2k=win2k)
use the exmerge utility to export all mailboxes to .pst files
backup these .pst files to tape
warning! this will take a wagon load of disk space, count on 1.5x your .edb files.

the 2000 version of this util works the best
it can be used on Exchange 5.5 or 2000
but it must be run from a Win2k workstation + Exch Admin console
the 2k version can syncronize just the newer messages
the 2k version supports command line parameters
