Did you install Exchange module on both nodes ?

File must be located in ...\nsr\bin location, together
with other legato binaries.

Just give a look using windows explorer to locate the file ....

How does this work for an Exchange service in a clustered environment  
(active/passive)?

I think I have the regular files in our two-node Windows 2003 cluster  
being backed up. Just a few minutes ago, I put a folder with a small  
file on the shared Q:\ disk, did a backup, then I was able to recover  
that folder back to the shared disk under the virtual cluster's name.  
But when I try to backup the Exchange service, I get ...

  exc1vs1.temple:MSEXCH: Could not run nsrxchsv.exe: The system  
cannot find the file specified

Why can't the nsrxchsv.exe program be found?
