You can create disk images of every drive on your servers running Exchange 2000.
Generally, most Exchange 2000 organisations do not use disk images to back up all of the drives on their computers for the following reasons:
- Performing disk-image backups of all of the drives of your servers running Exchange 2000 takes a long time.
- Performing disk-image backups of drives containing Exchange 2000 data can be done only when those databases are dismounted. As a result, Exchange 2000 users who have mailboxes on those servers cannot access their mailboxes during those backups.
