I have six new 15k SAS disks sat waiting to go in our SAN to form the basis of a new Exchange Server to replace our existing, full one.
It's Exchange 2003 SP2 Enterprise. The current server has around 150gb of private store, all in a single database. Suffice to say backups take a long time. With the new server I'm looking at using multiple storage groups and databases so I can (hopefully) backup several stores concurrently. We also intend to impose mailbox and message limits on the new server and I'm unsure of the best way to do this. We would like to have three tiers/bands for mailbox sizes, but Exchange seems to offer either store level quotas, or mailbox level, not group level. I'd appreciate any input on how people would approach this. Best practise from what I read seems to be that if you want three stores you would create three storage groups with one database each vs. one storage group with three databases?
