Only that it is just that, - a MOVE, not a COPY....

If you want to backup mailboxes, you have a couple of options....

One is to build a recovery server, which is a slightly different process

than just building an additional server in your existing
organisation/site.

Another is to use the EXMERGE tool, which can bulk extract mailboxes to
.PST
files, whilst leaving the orginal server mailboxes intact. Exmerge can
also
be used to import those .PST files back into either the same, or another

Exchange server, and can even be used to transfer mailboxes between
EX5.5 &
EX2000. If all you want to do is to take backups of mailboxes, this is
you
simplest option. However, this does NOT backup your Exchange directory
information - just the mailboxes....

However, as previously noted, the EX2000 config is in the AD, so you
just
need to make sure you have good backups of that in order to be able to
recover...
