I'm going a little further than that; The script backs up all open files on the server, but I sync them directly to a standby server with Exchange installed (services are shut down to allow me to write to the databases).
The same scripts also transfer SQL databases and general office docs. My particular Exchange issue is that the Rsync delta transfer does not seem to find much similatities between copies of the PRIV1.EDB. These copies are made a few days apart so there should be minimal data differences, possibly a few hundred mails but no more. The Sync seems to transfer the whole file again (or nearly the whole file).
