I looked into this a while ago but I never got as far as answering this
question:

With the way that Exchange implements its backups, if you did a full
backup to a different storage pool w/ different name.  Would you have to
follow that backup with a full to your normal backup pool so that the
logs would back up to the correct pool and be useable?

I use a second server name for long term retention and some logic in the
CMD
file to chose which day to run it. Separate options file with the
retention
period and could even use separate disk pool if you want.

I'm wondering what the best strategy to get a month end backup of
Exchange
going.  We would like to keep the backup for an indefinite amount of
time
(most likely a few years).  The backup tape(s) will be sent offsite.
Currently we have a nightly backup of Exchange which expires after 30
days.

I have a couple ideas on how to accomplish this.  I want to hear what
other people are doing.   Thanks in advance.
