On an info store backup it backs up the entire db, slack space and all. On a
MB backup, it will only backup the data that is within the db for each
mailbox and not the slack space.

Ok thanks that is what I was looking for. Our exchange teams compress the db
each night and they were wondering if that will help with the time it takes
to backup and I was not sure if the agent backed up0 just the data or the
entire db.

Hi Greg.
 
>From what I have seen, it backs up the entire DB. I had a customer who have
expanded his db by 50GB by mistake and he had to run a tool on the exchange
to reduce the size. Until he did that, NBU backed up all the data.

When the exchange backup runs and it logs in the exchange server do to the
mailbox backup does it backup just the mailboxes or does it backup the
entire db with the dead space in between the emails and mailboxes?
Basically when you have a db and all the files/records are all contiguous
there is no slack or dead space in between records. But if you were to
delete one or two records then you would have empty or slack space in
between some records. My question is does the exchange agent back just the
data records leaving the slack space alone or does it backup the entire db
including the slack space. I hope this is explained clearly enough so you
know what I am trying to ask.
