No, backup should be all you need. Just remember that SP1 secured Windows 2003 a lot and also broke some programs during the process. But it's been out for ages, so you should be able to fix any issues you run into.

BTW, SP2 has been released.

1 more question, the w2k3 server with role of AD & DNS; with exch2003sp1 & backupexec10 running on it, any special handling?

e.g. do i need to manually stop exch2003/backupexec services before patching?

many thx!
