Hi All,

we're sort of struggling to get the full backups of our exchange environment 
completed. The good news is that the mail admins have decided to split the 
exchange env. into many small databases, so I was thinking to create a script 
that backups a number of databases full and the rest incrementally and rotating 
the selection of databases to be backed up fully each day.

I was just wondering about the preferdagpassive parameter. If I say 'backup 
db1,db2,db3,db4 full /preferdagpasive' and db3 and db4 are active databases on 
this DAG node, will they or will they not be backed up? In other words, is 
there a difference in handling for * vs. explicitly naming the databases to be 
backed up?

(of course I'll run the exact same command on the other DAG node at more or 
less the same time to backup those databases that are passive over there).
