Hello,
Backup Exec, by design, will not backup the file. We actively exclude all database files for all databases we have agents for.
You can disable active file exclusion, but in order to backup the file you will need to stop all Exchange services whenever a backup is being performed, as Exchange will put a lock on the file and prevent us from backing it up.

In order to backup Exchange 2007, you will need to purchase an Exchange agent and install Backup Exec 11.d Revision 7170.
Even with the agent, however, you will not be able to backup the file without disabling the active file exclusion.

Unfortunately, the only method to backup the Exchange Information Store without using the agent is as stated above. The services will have to be taken offline, and the active file exclusion will have to be disabled.
Let us know if you need anything further.
