Exchange 2k7 backup with ntbackup

[mmark751969]

I am having to backup my exchange 2007 server with windows backup on
windows server 2003. I notice that ntbackup is able to see the e2k7
server and the information stores in it. And it is able to do a
backup. What i am wondering is when i go to do a restore - on the
restore and managed media tab. I see the both the information stores,
the log files and mailbox database folder. But i don't see any
catalog information on the right pane in that window(it just says no
entries found when i click on either the log files folder or the
mailbox database folder). Is this normal, or the way it should be. I
am wondering if i need to install the exchange 2k7 management tools(or
how to check if they are already installed). Thanks
