Does the System State include Exchange and Sharepoint?

What is the best way to backup Exchange without any third party software.

Thanks

Nick
 
The SBS backup will backup the entire system, including Exchange.

Let the wizard do its work.

The SBS Backup wizard is the worst of the bunch because it has no facility for anything other than a full backup every time. This can use way more backup media than is typically necessary and take far longer most of the time than is typically necessary.

You can backup Exchange using the built in NTBackup utility, just select the information store and perform the backup.
 
Thank you... So i just need to back up the Information Store to ensure that all e-mails, calanders, contacts and public folders are backed up. I am new to exchange & SBS...
