Yeah, you can run database stores that are hundreds of GB big, however backing them up, recovering them, online maintenance and the like take a long time to complete . . . that's all. It doesn't break exchange, its just not recommended.

I ran servers with stores larger than that with no problems way back to the Exchange 5.0 days.

It would make more sense to have 4 stores with 20GB size limits, since that would make SLA's for restores, defrags, whatever a whole lot better. 75GB in one store just encourages admins to grow their junk to sizes that are much less efficient than several smaller stores. But, like you said! 75gb is a whole lot better than 16! :-) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Martin Tuip [MVP] Sent: Thursday, June 16, 2005 5:46 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Re: Store increase in Ex2k3 SP2 True .. you could always ask for an enterprise version though. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jean-Paul Natola" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, June 16, 2005 1:38 PM Subject: RE: Store increase in Ex2k3 SP2 Don't get me wrong, I will take full advantage, But it would* have been nice is I could have multiple MAIL stores-- Oh well , beggars cant be choosers -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Missy Koslosky Sent: Thursday, June 16, 2005 3:31 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Re: Store increase in Ex2k3 SP2 So this doesn't help you at all, huh? Bummer for you. 75 GB is a nice number, and with the backup technologies available today, you don't need more than one store. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jean-Paul Natola" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, June 16, 2005 2:12 PM Subject: RE: Store increase in Ex2k3 SP2 LOL, Enterprise is not on the donated products list -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Scharff Sent: Thursday, June 16, 2005 3:05 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Store increase in Ex2k3 SP2 Yes.
