Server 2008R2 and Exchange 2010 Backup

Using server 2008R2 for Exchange 2010 has one great inherent benefit for small or cash-constrained shops: windows backup now has built-in support for exchange and VSS. This means that full backups of exchange 2010 can be performed without shelling out the cash for another backup product like Symantec Backup Exec.

If you run into 'Checking Consistency of Application Exchange' when you're doing a backup, the rule of thumb is that this step will take 2x the amount of time it takes to read all of your log files. So if you have 20GB of log files being read at 150Mb/s, you need to calculate based on 40GB of data at that rate.
