Hi,
In our environment we have deployed Enterprise Vault 9.0 for Exchange 2010.
We want to take EV backup by using Windows Server Backup wizard.
What is the exact procedure for this?
Thanks in Advance.

When you back up an Enterprise Vault server, the following items should be backed up:
Index locations
Vault stores
Vault store closed partitions
Vault store open partition, if present
Vault store databases
All the enterprise vault SQL database
. Refer the following document http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH64458
So when you create a backup Job you need to define some pre and post commands in the backup job so it out the Ev in backup mode and remove from the backup mode once the backup is complete. Also would be good practive to backup the SQl database when the EV is in backup mode .
Would recommend you to go for a backup application like BAckup Exec which as a special agent using which you can backup you EV under one selection .
