When I go into a job's properties and go to Microsoft Exchange the following options are set:
Information store backup
Backup method: Full
Enable the restore of individual mail messages and folders from Information Store backups is checked
Perfrom consistency check...when using VSS snapshot provider is checked
Continue is consistency fails is checked
Mailbox Backups
Backup Method: Full
Enable single instance backup for message attachments is checked
Do I need to create a new backup solely for Exchange Mailboxes and the First Storage Group, and then system state can be backed up normally along with the other data servers? Or is my current setup OK and just needs some tweeking?
Thanks for you input.

You do not need to put it on a own tape, but if you wish...
More interesting: Why do you backup the SQL with it? You should not do that.
AOFO should be diabled, as it is not supported and also not needed and not used
You also could backup the system state and shadow copy components on a regular basis with the filesystem of the exchange, as you do not need them for restoring exchange elements, but for restoring the whole server.
Personal opinion: For restoring or securing the whole server I would recommend using a desaster recovery tool like Backup Exec System Recovery, because it can handle this much better than BE....BE is a data backup solution...
In the past I had so much problems restoring whole machines, that i would never ever again try to do that with a BE backup. IDR did not work very well, which is the reason, it is EOL and now chances of restoring a whole system from a BE backup are somewhere less than 10%...but thats my opinion. ;)
