You can use Backup to back up Site Replication Service (SRS) on the server running SRS. By default, the server running SRS is the first Exchange 2000 server installed into an Exchange 5.5 site (although it is possible to create new instances of Site Replication Service to distribute the replication load).
Use Exchange System Manager to determine which Exchange 2000 server is running SRS in your site.
Note You can also back up the SRS database (Srs.edb file) manually. The Srs.edb file is located in the SRSData folder under the folder where you installed Exchange 2000.

1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Exchange, and then click System Manager.
2. In Exchange System Manager, expand Tools, and then expand Site Replication Services to locate the server running SRS. Under Site Replication Services you will see at least one entry called Microsoft Exchange Site Replication Service computer name, where computer name is the name of the server running SRS.
