When considering how to backup your Microsoft Exchange Server running on Server 2012/2008/2003/SBS, there are two tried and true methods.
Exchange Server Database backup
How to setup Exchange Server 2010 backup with BackupAssist.
The first involves the backup of the entire Exchange Server Information Store and Exchange Storage groups, which can be very useful when System Administrators like you perform a full restore of Exchange 2010. The Exchange Server backup software can then be setup to perform incremental backup of the Exchange Server. When Exchange Server database is mounted and serving request, these database files cannot be manually backed up. Instead, Microsoft provides VSS APIs for Exchange Server backup software like BackupAssist to perform an online “snapshot”. Because the Exchange Server is never stopped, this method saves System Administrators time and the organization avoids any interruption.
Selecting Individual mailboxes in Exchange Server for backup.

Customer testimonials
"I'm glad that we found BackupAssist. Whilst we realise the importance of backups ourselves, it has always been difficult to sell to clients in small to medium business when we had to include software with a $1000+ price tag. BackupAssist will make the sale much easier not only because of the price tag, but because we KNOW that it works so well."
"BackupAssist was suggested to me by a friend, I tried the demonstration because I didn't like the way the larger backup programs worked. I wanted to use backup rotation, but wasn't sure how and when I found that BackupAssist managed it all for me, as well as doing the SQL and Exchange backups it was an immediate decision to buy. Great software."
"BackupAssist takes all of that pain away and sorts out the MS Exchange open files problem in a few simple steps. Excellent."
Martin Beake, 2Sys Ltd, UK
"We needed to backup Exchange and SQL Server but didn't want to spend a fortune."
"All our clients want is a simple backup strategy that's secure, easy to follow and implement, and BackupAssist provides just that. It's an excellent product, and I do like the emailed logs as it allows me to remotely check progress."
"We are going to use BackupAssist primarily for Exchange backup and restoration. I'm sure you are aware of the difficulties you can have with backing up and restoring this email server. We threw all we could at a test mail server, even to the point of crashing it, and your backup software restored it all to its original glory. Good job my friend. Just ordered it from the site. Very exciting piece of software."
