Thanks for anyones help or suggestions.
If your user base does not change and is relatively static, you can back up the BES database by doing an export and saving the flat file.

This way, if you have a failure and have to restore, you simply build a new box out and install the latest greatest BES version, and do an import of the user data/database. At least that's one of my thoughts about it. I also backup my SQL database (which is on a different server) and use the Veritas SQL agent for that.
