I have exchange 5.5 running on a win2k server. How do I perform an online backup of exchange? Is this even possible?

You have a number of options. The ordinary NTBACKUP utility can back up the Exchange Directory and Information Store files. These are options if you run the utility interactively and select a server. For the command line version they are specified as:

DS \\servername
IS \\servername

There are also 3rd-party tools available. Open File Manager from St. Bernard Software lets you back up any open files. See http://www.stbernard.com/products_ofm-whtpaper.asp for more info. Then there are 3rd-party backup utilities, like Ultrabac (http://www.ultrabac.com/), that have modules capable of doing similar feats.

I hope this helps.
