Thank you very much Del. I knew about the logs being associated per SG,
but did not put the two facts together. I guess my only other option is
to create another SG and move the Public Folder db to it and exclude it.
Thanks again for your feedback, much appreciated.

Khalid,
This is not allowed because the transacation logs for
an Exchange Storage Group are at the Storage Group level,
not at the database level.
If a backup product allowed you to do this, it would
be letting you create backup that may not be recoverable
in the event that you lost the disk that contained
your public folder database.
Thanks,
Del

I would like to exclude the Public Folder database within a certain
Storage Group (SG) in Exchange 2003 from FULL backup, but it seems
that
I can only specify SG for backup and not any specific Mailbox Store
(database) within an SG. The TDPEXEC (GUI) even the TDPEXCC (CLI)
backup all the databases within an SG. The only exception is the
Database Copy backup type, but the downside is that this type of
backup does not prune the transaction logs after successful backup.
Am I missing anything? Can someone help me confirm that this is true
or
is there another method of achieving what I want to accomplish here.
Thank you very much for any help and feedback.
