RE: Exchange 5.5 SP4 Issues
Title: Message Because of the limitation of 5.5 whereby all mailboxes are held in one store, if you ever have to restore a mailbox (or even the whole machine!)you will have to restore the whole IS. Therefore, taking your restore hardware into consideration, you need to decide how fast you can restore the entire IS. For instance, if your hardware restores tapes at 4GB per hour, then an 18 GB store will take 4.5 hours. This might not be such an issue when it's only one mailbox, but you'll have users banging your door down when their whole server has gone down.
