Interesting problem:

WindowsNT 4.0 with Service Pack 2 and Exchange C/S 4.0 with SP3
uninstalled fails to backup.

We found something odd here:  If you have WindowsNT 4.0 with SP2 installed
and decide you no longer want to use Microsoft Exchange Clinet Server
(with SP3 in our case) and you un-install it, backups performed using
NTBackup will fail.  We think we narrowed it down to the following:

When Exchange 4.0 c/s installs it modifies NTBackup to allow NTBackup to
backup exchange's information.  When Exchange is uninstalled, it DOES NOT
remove the hook into NTBackup or replace the modified NTBackup with an
original (as it should).  This causes NTBackup to generate an exception
error each time it runs.

Solution: Er.. Well we haven't tried it, but you could probably just
re-install NTBackup.
