Exchange 2010 - Best practice MDB Data size
Hi guys,
I would like your advise;
Thanks in advance
Nir
- One of our customers is using Exch 2010 with 8* MDB data DB's, each is ~600GB - all together ~5TB.
- Total users - 500.
- The Exch is worksing in DAG.
- Hyper-V 2012 (R1) - soon to be 2016.
I would like your advise;
- What is the best practice for MDBdata size for Exch 2010?
- Is there a performance gain which will be acheived when consolidating it?
- Are there any other DB-wise best practices for the given configuration?
- When replicating a DAG node to a DR site, are there any special recommendations?
Thanks in advance
Nir

i second what Kevin says. You need to consider restore scenarios. that's the main thing
Who said you need backup for Exchange. With DAG in place, no need to run any backup. I am running several customer without backup with DAG. Even Microsoft run backup less Office 365. So, restore scenario is of no use here.
