Update Rollup 6 for Exchange Server 2007 RTM (not SP1)

Update Rollup 6 is out for Exchange 2007 RTM, for those who have no upgraded to SP1 yet. It fixes over 20 bugs, and includes all the fixes from Rollup Packs 1 thru 5.

A good KB article to bookmark to stay on top of these releases is KB 937052. When an update rollup for SP1 comes out, it will be listed there.

Windows 2008 Server Backup is not Exchange-aware

Coworker Elan Shudnow pointed out a glaring omission with Windows Server Backup in Server 2008 - it isn't Exchange aware. In fact, many features you might have been used to in NTBACKUP are gone with the new backup program provided with Server 2008. Even if you didn't like NTBACKUP, I have a bad feeling you will like Windows Server Backup even less.

Thankfully you can use DPM or some other type of backup software for Exchange, but those aren't free.

Update: Karl Foley has a clever workaround that involves copying NTBACKUP from an XP machine and a few other Exchange-specific DLLs to make it work under Windows 2008.
