Yes. The ADSM Connect Agent for MS Exchange does exist and works very well.
It is able to backup Exchange while the database is open.

We use it at our site and find that it works very well. I recommend however
that you upgrade to the latest ptf 1.1.00B (i believe) for added
functionality.

Feel free to email me if you need more info.

Thanks,

Nathan

        Hi

        Can ADSM interact with MS exchange ???
        i ask this because of the following i got from a possible client:

        There are lots of backup products that will backup open files,
however if
        you attempt to perform a restore on an exchange server backed up in
this
        manner, it will not work.
        We must find out if the product specifically supports MS exchange,
with an
        exchange agent.  The purpose of this agent is to interact with the
operating
        system and the exchange application during the backup

        So does ADSM support MS exchange ?
        Thanks in advance !!!
