 Yes - It basically dumps each mailbox to a temporary .pst file (one at
a time), then backs them up....

  Yes - with a -p option in the 'backup command' field of apps/modules
tab of the client config. Here is one we use:
 nsrxchsv.exe -I "C:\\Program Files\\Legato\\nsr\\bin\\im02-mb.txt" -p
"E:\\Temp"
  - which reads the list of mailboxes to backup from the im02-mb.txt
file and uses E:\Temp for a work area...

  We always use the -I option to point to a file that lists the
mailboxes to be backed up. The format of that file is:
MSEXCH:MB/Lastname, Firstname
