I would first make sure that I am comfortable with backup/restore speeds and base the DB size on that.
-----Original Message----- From: Woodruff, Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2004 10:23 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Exchange 2k3 store configs I am setting up a plan to restructure our exchange DB config. Currently we have 3 DBs. 1 with a mix of companies that is very large (65GB). The others are 4 to 5GB a piece and are one Exec DB and one company DB. I started to go the departmental route to separate DBs, but then that idea was soon realized to created trouble since we have people who shuffle around a lot here. What are larger orgs like some of you doing with your config? I was thinking company Dbs with a 20GB limit. After the 20GB was reached I would then create a second instance of the same company DB2 and so on for all of our companies. Just looking for some input an recommendations of what is the best practice. Thanks. Michael Woodruff System Administrator inChord Communications Inc.
