Backup Server

I have just finished my install of SQL2K on Win2003. I
want to make a complete backup of the server. Do I back
with the SQL services running, or do I stop them?Do your normal NT backup, then back up all of the sql databases using SQL
Server Backup...
Some folks ( for the initial setup) will bring down sql and do the NT
backup...
