Hi all

I am currently using snap manager for exchange version 1.1.1 and I am reading the documentation over at http://now.netapp.com/NOW/knowledge/docs/SnapManager/relsme111r2/pdfs/smesag.pdf and it says that I should not put any data on the same volume as the exchange database. Can some please explain why this is? I already have 100 gigs of data on the same vol as my exchange DB please advice

Caution

Do not put any other files or data (including transaction logs) on the same

volumes with the Exchange databases if you are going to make use of

SnapManager Restore using SnapRestore. This type of recovery performs a

volume recovery using the snapshot of the Exchange databases and all other files

and data on the volume. Therefore, the other files and data are recovered to the

time of the snapshot along with the Exchange databases. This result might not be

acceptable when performing a SnapManager Restore with SnapRestore recovery.

Thanks for any help
