It depends on how many files your people are swapping as well, each log file is 5Mb so if you have a lot of files going back and forth it can grow pretty quickly.

Re: Symantec BEX 12.5 GRT backups good/bad
I've been using it for about 4 months. Luckily all I've had to restore are
individual messages, and it has worked perfectly each time. If I understand
the semantics correctly, the ability to pluck out and restore individual
messages is a step more granular than a brick level backup/restore, and is
appropriately called a message level backup/restore.

It isn't, strictly speaking, a blb. OTOH, it depends on Symantec properly decoding the contents of an Exchange database - as a database.
