Yes, Bacula can easily back up an Exchange Information Store, but only if the hard part is already done. You should
1) Back up the Information Store to disk using ntbackup; 2) Back up the .BKF file ntbackup just created to tape using Bacula. Yes, I know it takes twice as much time and storage. I don't know if you have the time, but I know you have the (110% percent * IS size) required free disk space to do those monthly defrags (Don't have? You should! http://support.microsoft.com/kb/328804/), so it shouldn't be an issue. Other backup solutions (CA's ArcServe, Symantec's NetBackup) can backup Exchange on the fly because they have application-specific agents that leverage the APIs Microsoft makes available. The same goes for other applications: SQL Server, Oracle, etc. As of today, Bacula does not have an Exchange backup agent.
