The MS-Exchange store is basically a paged database file, similar to Oracle or MS-SQL. It exists as a single unit. You cannot control what is backed up or restored below the database level. This is a limitation of Exchange. Other vendors might claim you can do individual mailbox backups, using so-called "brick level backups", but such backups are NOT supported or recommended by Microsoft, and practical experience has shown they are generally a really, really bad idea. Search the web for details. > Does anyone know of a backup client specific for Exchange 2000 that will > allow you to exclude all .WAV files from backups? Not safely possible.
