Mileage may vary, but when I can't backup/restore an exchange db within acceptable (to the business that is) time, then it's too big. Money can buy faster toys, so you'll have to do your sums of what you can afford and what performance it will give you. There really is no right or wrong here.

I was wondering when an exchange database would be considered huge and one should think about archiving solution. Maybe we don't need archving. At the moment the store is 60GB. Assuming we put in all the PSTs lying around on workstations and servers that would grow instantly to 240GB and continue growing from then on. So, what is a large exchange db? Do I really need archiving? thanks regards Uso _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang=english To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
