Ok thanks that is what I was looking for. Our exchange teams compress
the db each night and they were wondering if that will help with the
time it takes to backup and I was not sure if the agent backed up0 just
the data or the entire db.

Hi Greg.

>From what I have seen, it backs up the entire DB. I had a customer who
have expanded his db by 50GB by mistake and he had to run a tool on the
exchange to reduce the size. Until he did that, NBU backed up all the
data.

When the exchange backup runs and it logs in the exchange server do to
the mailbox backup does it backup just the mailboxes or does it backup
the entire db with the dead space in between the emails and mailboxes?
Basically when you have a db and all the files/records are all
contiguous there is no slack or dead space in between records. But if
you were to delete one or two records then you would have empty or slack
space in between some records. My question is does the exchange agent
back just the data records leaving the slack space alone or does it
backup the entire db including the slack space. I hope this is explained
clearly enough so you know what I am trying to ask.
