Re: exchange db/restore Q

We ended up with 400% free space but that's only because of the number if
spindles we dedicated to Exchange stores. :)

110% of your largest database is recommended for defrags.

I remember, but I recall it being for defrags (plus good drive use
measures). I'm moving to a new Exchange server in a couple weeks but I will
be using 2x as a bare minimum.

I vaguely recall a 'best practice' theory of making sure whatever drive
(volume) your exchange databases are installed on that it's a good idea the
drive space of that volume is at least 2x the size of your databases -- this
is because of space needed for doing restores or something like that.

For example.  If my exchange dbs are on my e: drive and the exchange dbs are
approximately 20gb, then i should make sure i have at least a 50gb e:
drive to accommodate for space neccessary if I performed a complete exchange
restore.

Does this ring a bell or am I thinking of something else?

it is needed if you want to do a manual defrag of the database and/or 
mount a recovery store.

For a simple backup and restore it is not necessary.
