Just did it yesterday with the help of our support. Here is what you
need to do:

1. install the regular client and the exchange agent with the same
   (administrator) account.
2. install the 482 patch.
3. logon as administrator and in the control panel->services->properties
   define the service to run with the administrator account (you write
   the username and password there)
4. stop and start the netbackup service.
5. create the mailbox for netbackup according to the instructions, and
   connect it to administrator. It should have administrator rights.
6. on the 'site' level choose properties->permissions and add user
   administrator with admin role.
7. in the registry of the exchange server go to 
   \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\VERITAS\NetBackup\Config 
   and create a new key (right click on config -> new -> string type) 
   called EXCHANGE_MAILBOX and the string you put in its value is the
   name of the mailbox you created for netbackup.

You then need to create a user backup schedule with all the days and
hours available.

It is recommended to run the database backup on different time window
than the mailboxes backup.

Hope this helps.
