I'm not an Exchange expert but what about this:

Another solution would be a second email server that you would forward all 
mail through.  While forwarding, the second mail server would make a copy 
and store that locally.  I know qmail can do this for sure, and I'd be 
surprised if you couldn't also do it with postfix, etc.
