Online replication probably won't work well because you won't be able to get exclusive access to the mail stores, streaming files, and transaction logs (*.edb, *.stm, and E*.log).

Your best bet is to use an Exchange-aware backup utility (such as the upgraded NTBackup on your Exchange server or Veritas BackupExec) or to go with an actual clustering solution.
