1. backup/recovery is done at the storage group level. You can restore a single database of a storage group, but it's a little trickier. Some of the policies are also set at the storage group level. 2. an additional storage group costs you about 100MB of RAM used just to start it up. The additional database will cost you the same either way. 3. an additional storage group uses a separate set of log files, which should go on their own volume so as not to impact performance of both storage groups.
You don't say anything about why you think you need another database, so there's not much more to recommend. ======================================== ERM (Exchange Resource Manager) Released http://www.swinc.com/erm ======================================== -----Original Message----- From: Bailey, Matthew [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Posted At: Monday, June 09, 2003 11:21 AM Posted To: Microsoft Exchange Conversation: Second Storage Group or Additional Mailbox Store Subject: Second Storage Group or Additional Mailbox Store We are thinking of adding an additional Information Store to both of our Exchange 2k SP3 servers. From what I can tell, I can either add a second Storage Group or an addition Mailbox Store in the existing Storage Group. What I can't find is what the pro's and con's of each option are. Can anybody point me in the right direction?
