MB does a brick level backup of Exchange Mailboxes.
 
You want to use MSExchIS: to backup the databases.
 
I don't think KMS or SRS do anything in Exchange 2000.   I don't use them and
I have always been able to restore.
 
The M:\ drive is the IFS interface to Exchange.  Forget it is thier don't try
to back it up or virus scan it or you WILL be sorry.  MS's  current  best
practice is configure Exchange not to display m:\  See Technet for
instructions.

        Thanks a lot!!
        
        What does KMS include?
        
        So unless I use the MB, and PF savesets, the private mailboxes and
        public folders will not be backed up?  In other words if I don't have
        those savesets and I need to recover the Exchange server from
backups, I
        will loose everyone's mail and public folders? 
        
        I can just use MSEXCH: saveset without anything after it, and it will
        backup IS, KMS, and SRS?

        Take a look at Appendix A in the Exchange Module Administrator's
Guide
        
(http://web1.legato.com/infodev/publications/BSM_MSXCH/3.1/nmexcag_3.1.p
        df)
        MSEXCH: includes IS, KMS, SRS, you don't need to specify IS, KMS, SRS
        separately unless you really want to back them up separately
        MSEXCH:MB includes all private mailboxes
        MSEXCH:PF includes all public folders

        Can anyone tell me what the following savesets do when backing up an
        Exchange 2K server:
        MSEXCH:MB
        MSEXCH:KMS
        Are they necessary, or will the :IS and :SRS backup all the important
        Exchange 2K files?
        Do the above savesets reference the M:\ drive on Exchange 2K?
        Thanks,
