I use ClientRunBeforeJob to run a batch script before I actually grab
all my Exchange server's files. The batch script uses ntbackup to
backup Exchange to a file:
--
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Bacula\bin\ntbackup.exe" backup "@C:\Documents
and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Windows NT\NTBackup\data\Nightly Backup.bks" /v:no
/r:no /rs:no /hc:off /m normal /j "Nightly Backup" /l:s /f
"C:\exchbackups\Backup.bkf"
--

The backup set (.bks file) was created with the NTBackup GUI. This
will no longer work in Windows 2008 since the ntbackup utility has
been nerfed, but does the job for now. Not exactly an efficient use of
disk space, though, if that's your primary concern.
