Eric,

In regards to TDP for Exchange...

You must run a full backup before an incremental backup will work.
Now, if you run a full backup with something other than
TDP for Exchange, the Exchange Server will gladly let you do that.

So, the point is that you should ALWAYS run a a full backup
with TDP for Exchange before attempting any incremental
or differential backup.

If you are using NTBACKUP or some other tool as a supplement,
you need to be very careful, because Exchange won't know that,
and will let you do it. The problem would then appear when you
tried to perform a restore using both tools.

Thanks,

Del
