Yes, the target is in the same room, actually. So no seeding necessary...just enable and let it bake?
By your definitions all of our databases put together are miniscule @ 95GB Ehren J.

If it is local, unless your network is saturated, I would just do one at a time. When one copy is stable, then do the next. When I think of "sizeable"; I'm thinking 175 - 200 GB or larger.

I have the servers set up but heard that if your mailbox database already exists and is sizeable then you need to manually seed it. I see some blogs saying that you just enable storagegroupcopy etc and your done and others saying you need to enable it, then suspend it, seed it and re-enable it. Which do I need to do? Also does anyone have any links to a reliable blog or instruction on the process? I have 5 storage groups, each with one database. The databases range from 5GB to 45GB each. All five databases equal about 95GB. Thanks Ehren J.
