I have BE2010,with Dell 8 Tape Library Backing up Windows 2003\2008 with SQL 2005\2008, SharePoint 2007 and Exchange 2007, due to requirements for different software, i.e. OS vs SQL etc. I want to create a different job for each, 1 for OS's, 1 for SQL, 1 for SP and one for Exchange, do I need to create job for each and if so, how do I kick off one job after another is finished each night?

At the minimum, you need two jobs: One with AOFO on, for backing up flat files and another with AOFO off, for backing SQL and Exchange. You can have more if you want to, but the scheduling becomes more difficult.
If you want to chain your jobs, you can use BEMCMD to start the next job in the sequence. See my blog on this subject.

Hi,
Read the article below...this is how I do it with data and databases, but you can modify it slightly.
Best thing from my side was to create 2 separate GFS policies and 2 separate selection lists. In your case it would be 3 & 3...

You could look into rules to chain the jobs together, but I forgo this as I know how big our databases/Exchange take to complete a backup and add on 2 hours till the data backups kick off.
Thanks!
