Hello,
1- The only way to backup these files with only ADSM Client is to stop
all Exchange Services (I never tried).
2- If you want to do Online Backup of your Exchange Server to an ADSM
server is to used Seagate BackupExec tools with ADSM Module. (It works
fine I used it).

Be careful, Exchange has to be considered as a DataBase, there is a
TableSpace (ex:priv.edb) and the log file (edbxxxx.log).
