Oh yeah...I forgot to add that we do a full backup with Backup Exec each night. Also, beer is good for you<G>.

Particularly seeing as how I did weekly full, daily incremental, and am now switching Backup Exec to daily full as I write this!

But to ask us how to administer your infrastructure is another. If your new to Exchange then take some training courses first. Many of your questions as of late are basic.

I thought that daily full backups would just be a waste of tape space and time, but maybe not. Is your reason for doing full daily backups for quick recovery (e.g. reover from a single tape)???

I've looked through the FAQs and read most of the relevant Microsoft Qxxx articles on Exchange administration, but I haven't found "the" way to do good backups. My first blush is to backup the entire databases + logs once a week and then backup the incremental changes to the logs daily. All suggestions, snide remarks and pithy one-liners are welcome...
