It certainly looks like MS are putting in the consistency check plug-in in SP2. The information you pasted is true for Exchange 2007 RTM and SP1, but BackupAssist has its own plug in that will correctly back up those versions of Exchange 2007. It looks like the Microsoft plug-in in SP2 will do something very similar to the BackupAssist plug-in. We will probably keep the BackupAssist plug-in for the time being, and when SP2 ships, we'll have a look at Microsoft's plug-in and see if we should use their plug-in, or our own. However, I know that the Microsoft plug-in does not report the verification of the Exchange databases, so we may continue to use our own. Thanks for your comment! Regards, Linus Hello Gabriele,

An image will capture the corrupted edb files, and not tell you that there is a problem. is true with exchange 2007 SP2 ? Here (http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2009/05/13/451311.aspx) there's a post from Microsoft where it seem that there are some checks even if you use "windows server backup" on a win2008 with exchnge 2007? thanks for your time!! Hi,
I’m a happy user of backupassist on a windows 2003 server with exchange 2003 but I’m planning to migrate to windows 2008 with exchange 2007 soon, can you tell me if this:
