Heh... I don't believe most of the companies I know with those kind of
storage dynamics would classify themselves that way at all. For many of
them 'high tech' is so far from their primary line of business it's
almost funny.

I use NTBackup and backup to disk. More than acceptable for my
organization. In the event of a complete disaster our downtime is only
90 seconds, and restore would be completed within a day. Microsoft's
internal case study indicates they have 20 databases per server, with a
maximum database size of 50GB and a restore SLA of less than 1 hour per
database.

Exchange doesn't have hard limits, so I'm not sure what that means.

Which 2GB limit?
