Offline defrag time

planning an offline defrag of exchange the database is 60 g the space taken up on the drive is 300 g
Microsoft say that the off line defrag will take one hour per 9 g so how do I plan on the 60g or the 300g?

You have add the size of both .EDB and .STM file for any database.
Eg. if priv1.edb is 50 Gigs and Priv1.stm is 20 Gigs, then the total size is 70 Gigs.

Actually the offline defrag runs 6-7 Gigs per hour based on your server configurations.
It should take atleast 10 hours for my example.

Yups Kieran_b is absolutely right.. that's the simplest way  instead of offline defrag... but make sure you have a backup of Exchange before you perform this task. Much less time consuming and u don't need much downtime for this.
Hey PAP,

If you have only single store, make sure to move the system attendant mailbox to the new store - before deleting the old store.
