Administrative Account to all mailboxes

I am using Symantec Backup Exec with the exchange agent for my Exchange 2007.
I would assume that I need to setup an account that has access to all
mailboxes. How do I accomplish this?

Also, in exchange 2003 OWA, I would go to http://www.mail.com/exchange and
put in my username and password. If I had administrative rights to other
mailboxes, I would simple add a /mailboxname, so it would look like
http://www.mail.com/exchange/mailboxname. Can I still do that in 2007?

Nope. you dont. You are doing regular old storage groups VSS backups
right? Not mailbox level?

Try https://mail.domain.com/owa/UPN or SMTP address at the end.


or open from OWA after you logon from the open other mailbox dialog
box.

Why? All you need to do is follow the Symantec instructions - but note that
you shouldn't be using their individual mailbox backup feature (aka
"brick-level"). Just back up the online stores. Nothing special should be
required to do this. Brick-level backups are not recommended.

I'm not sure. What happens when you try?
