Why not run daily incrementals in between full mailbox backups? My Exchange
restore requests are always at the message level anyway.

We've just upgraded our Exchange server and one of the improvements was to
split the information store into 3 storage groups (only 2 contain data that
needs to be backed up though). Each storage group has 2 stores. Does anyone
have any suggestions on how I can use this to improve my mailbox backup
performance? An Information store backup of about 95GB takes about 45 minutes.
The mailbox backups take about 20-30 hours. Because of that I only do a
mailbox backup once a month. I was thinking about trying concurrent backups
... but the Exchange administrator does not think we'll get any better
throughput but what if I backup up one store every weekend? How would I
address that store in the policy? I use 5.1 MP4 and currently the Mailbox
backup policy Directive set is set to MS_Exchange_2000 and the Pathname or
directive is Microsoft Exchange Mailboxes:\.
Thanks,
Mike Day
