Well, the #1 recent article here is my Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2010 Backup how to. The reason, of course, is that Exchange 2010 has been out since November 2009 and select few have yet announced or released Exchange 2010 support, and many companies are still trying to find how to backup Exchange 2010 in their production environment.
While I have not used many of these yet, I am hoping to try to demonstrate them all and update this post as new information comes. However, if you have made a significant investment in any of the below (or others, email me!) and are waiting for support, the best thing you can do is ask your vendor. The more input received, the more important you are making it for them!
Here is a chart of my findings thus far:
| Vendor | Product | Exchange 2010 Support | Exchange 2010 SP1 Support | DAG support |
| Commvault | Commvault | Non-DAG in 8.0, DAG in 9.0 | Unknown | Yes in 9.0 |
| Symantec | NetBackup | Yes in 7.0 | Unknown | Yes in 7.0 |
| Symantec | Backup Exec 2010 | Yes, in Backup Exec 2010, must run x64 on BE Server | Yes, in Backup Exec 2010 R2 | Yes in Backup Exec 2010 |
| CA | Arcserve | Yes | Unknown | Yes |
| EMC | Networker | Yes | Unknown | Yes |
| EMC | DataDomain | Unknown | Unknown | Unknown |
| EMC | Avamar | Yes | Unknown | Yes |
| i365 | eVault | Expected by EOY | Expected by EOY | Unknown |
| Microsoft | DPM 2010 | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Microsoft | Windows Server Backup | Yes | Unknown | Yes |
By the way, if you know of ANY updates, feel free to comment, or email me directly at [email protected]. If I said Unknown above it's more likely that your web site didn't make this information readily accessible. If I receive emails from the appropriate domain names, I will post it as official, more so if you can provide a link!

Chris,
Running a large commvault deployment... i'll try to ping them tomorrow and get a status of 2010 support for you.

Acronis intends to support Exchange 2010 as well. No word on when it will be released. Thanks for the information.
There's rumour of ArcServe having something ready for May with the R14 release of ArcServe, but its unconfirmed.
Per EMC, Exchange 2010 support will be provided within Networker's NMM 2.3. The release of NMM 2.3 is "currently scheduled for the end of Q4 2010. Engineering is also looking at providing the interim solution using Core NetWorker."
Symantec Backupexec must be installed with 64 bit version in order to work.
EMC Networker now "supports" Exchange 2010 http://aspoc.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/EMC_NetWorker_Exchange_2010_Support.pdf
CA Arcserve is supported for Exchange 2010 but not SP1.
Can your table start to include SP1 support aswell?
Post updated 9/28/2010
SP1 content added. Post anything else you learn/know and I will update again - sorry for the lack of updates, all this Exchange 2010 work is keeping us BUSY!
It looks like Avamar 5 SP2 supports 2010 SP1:
