And if you can't be bothered to read the entire paper, I've knocked up a smaller article on the RSG here: http://hellomate.typepad.com/exchange/2003/12/the_recovery_st.html Neil -----Original Message----- From: Hazelman, Doug [mailto:DHazelman@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 23 December 2003 15:58 To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Recovery Storage Group http://www.MSExchange.org/ Mike, You only need 1 RSG per Administrative group. You cannot restore a database to the RSG if it's from a different administrative group. There's a great resource from MS on using the Recovery Storage Group here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=df144af6-bee5-4 b35-866a-557e25fe2ba1&displaylang=en -doug -----Original Message----- From: A. Michael Salim [mailto:msalim@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, December 23, 2003 10:49 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Recovery Storage Group http://www.MSExchange.org/ Hi all, I am running Ex2k3 Enterprise on Win2k3 Server. I have 3 regular storage groups configured. I want to create a "Recovery Storage Group". Do I need to make three recovery storage groups (one for each live storage group), or will I just need the one Recovery Storage Group which will take care of all three live storage groups? Currently all storage groups are under 2GB in size but potentially could grow to well beyond that. best regards Mike Salim. ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp Exchange FAQ: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=exchangelist Exchange Newsletters: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/newsletter.asp Exchange FAQ: http://www.msexchange.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 ISA Server Resource Site: http://www.isaserver.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ ______________________________________________________ This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.
