I do have 3 physical arrays on 2 different controllers (1 with 2 channels) C: mirror - OS D: mirror - Logs E: Raid5 - DBs So it seems I can just do a full online backup of the stores via the "exchange aware" ntbackup. If I lose the store, I can put new disks in my raid5 array, restore the db and then play back my log files from D:. Thanks!
