I always keep an eSata card in my Exchange box just for this reason. Restores are fast enough for me with that... Sam

The more whitespace you have, the less time. Something like: Eseutil.exe /d /t "z:\remotelocation\temp.edb" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/192185 From: Reimer, Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2008 4:22 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Offline Defrag of Exchange store, but disk space is limited Hi folks, We just recently cleared out a bunch of old accounts from Exchange, and would like to do an offline defrag, but we don't have enough disk space where the store is kept to do the defrag. There isn't enough space on the log/system drive either (we just have the two drives). Is there another way to do this? Is it recommended? Our store (we have just one) is about 40 GB, with a STM file of 26 GB (approx). I tried to google it, but nothing came up. Maybe because I'm tired at the end of the day. I'd appreciate any help I can get. Thanks.
