How do you back up an exchange server to a tape drive on a remote nt server, when NT backup doesn't offer the "Microsoft Exchange" option from the Operations menu?

I've tried using the command line (using the syntax in an article retrieved from microsoft.com) but it doesn't work!

I'm really desperate!

Thanks, Gary for your help.

You also need a couple of dlls to make it work.

I discovered that if you install the Exchange administrator program on the NT server from which you will be running backup, the installation process updates natbackup so that it works with exchange.

The pain we go through to find out this useful stuff!!

Once again thankyou.
