In comparison to one our full backups, that appears to be what you have
below:

1. Full Backup
2. TDP

You are right, "FILE" as description of the type of backup can be misleading
if it's a TDP backup, especially considering that you cannot restore a single
"file" from a full Exchange TDP backup, unless that "file" is an entire
Information Store, Public Folders, etc.

Another Newbie question,
   
  I have a couple questions about the following query for my exchange backup:
   
   
  select
FILESPACE_NAME,STATE,type,HL_NAME,LL_NAME,backup_date,DEACTIVATE_DATE from
backups where node_name='EXCHANGE02' and STATE !='INACTIVE_VERSION'
   
  When I run the above query I get the following output
   FILESPACE_NAME: EXCHANGE02_PH\Directory
          STATE: ACTIVE_VERSION
           TYPE: FILE
        HL_NAME: \meta\
        LL_NAME: full
    BACKUP_DATE: 2007-05-31 03:50:02.000000
DEACTIVATE_DATE:
   FILESPACE_NAME: EXCHANGE02_PH\Information Store
          STATE: ACTIVE_VERSION
           TYPE: FILE
        HL_NAME: \data\0000\Public\
        LL_NAME: full
    BACKUP_DATE: 2007-05-28 02:02:42.000000
DEACTIVATE_DATE:
   FILESPACE_NAME: EXCHANGE02_PH\Information Store
          STATE: ACTIVE_VERSION
           TYPE: FILE
        HL_NAME: \logs\
        LL_NAME: full
    BACKUP_DATE: 2007-05-28 02:02:42.000000
DEACTIVATE_DATE:
   FILESPACE_NAME: EXCHANGE02_PH\Information Store
          STATE: ACTIVE_VERSION
           TYPE: FILE
        HL_NAME: \meta\
        LL_NAME: full
    BACKUP_DATE: 2007-05-31 03:54:22.000000
DEACTIVATE_DATE:

  My questions are:
  1- Is this a full exchange backup or incremental?
  2- The Type is showing as FILE, is this correct?
      is it a file backup or a TDP backup?
   
   
   
  thanks in Advance,
  Daad
