It depends. Most likely, there is no problem with an IS that size. But you don't give us much information to work with. We're not psychic. Exchange itself can handle ISes in the hundreds of gigabytes. Exchange 2003 Standard is limited to 16 GB prior to SP2. With SP2, that's increased to 75 GB, although I can't remember if you have to set a registry key to ask for it. (I don't think so; I could be wrong.) So in terms of software, you're fine. Does the server have enough RAM and disk to provide acceptable performance with an IS of that size? Again, it prolly does, but for all we know you're running on ten year old hardware. Does your tape drive or whatever have enough storage capacity to back that up within your backup period? What about time-to-restore in the event of a disaster recovery scenario? -- Ben ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja ~
