Backing up Exchange 2007 with NTbackup

Issue: There is no included backup program for Exchange 2007 on Server 2008.  If you do not use BESR with Granular Restore or you need to have a file based back up of the exchange database, you need to install NTbackup. 

Affects: Windows Server 2008

Solutions to the issue:

1) Find a Windows Server 2003 x64 based system

2) Copy the ntbackup.exe, ntmsapi.dll, and vssapi.dll from C:\windows\system32 into a new folder.

3) Copy the folder on the Windows Server 2008 machine.

4) Run NTbackup as one normally would.
