You may also want to look into a NetApp product called SnapManager for
Exchange. I am sure that they want BIG bucks for it, but it might have
features that you are looking for and it is made to seamlessly integrate with
your NetApp.
Here is a doc from the NetApp site:
http://media.netapp.com/documents/tr-3578.pdf
It also gives some sizing info.

Subject: [Networker] sizing Exchange 2003 incrementals through networker
Hello,
I've been trying to provide our Exchange admins with an idea of the
incremental changes between backups in our exchange environment. My most
often used tool is a "mminfo -X -c [clientname]." This seems to be exactly
what they are looking for. My question is, can I extend this summary for
more than just 7 days inclusive of today, or am I into writing my own
queryspec territory?
Additionally, has anyone moved from using Networker to tape incrementals for
their Exchange, to NetApp-based snapshots? I am curious, are the storage
requirements for a NetApp snapshot similar, larger, or smaller than the
requirements for doing a similar backup schedule through Networker Module
for Exchange?
Thanks!
