Backup of Exchange server using Windows backup.

I am using Windows2008 Server not R2 with Exchange Server2007. For our Exchange Server database we have used a disk drive partition which is more than the size of3 TB. Now if i am going to do the backup task of this drive using windows server2008 backup utility it won't allow to backup this drive. How can I do this task without using other third party softwares ?

Use the Exchange Server Backup Tool to save user mailbox. The tool gives you a lot of options that make the backup process simple and quick. It first check the files for any errors and then back up them . Exchange backup gives you option to schedule  backup. Users have the option for full backup and incremental backup. Data can be restored easily manually for selected files or run automatic restore to get complete data. Download the Exchange Backup Software.
