We're considering using NetApp storage via iSCSI LUNs for Exchange email databases, but are concerned that we'll run into trouble due to some obscure/hidden Microsoft magic.
I suspect that the way NetApp does snapshots, and presents the disk as a LUN to the exchange server, it prevents any such problems. That is, there is no way for the M$ software to know the difference between the live production data, and the snapshot data from which you're making mailbox level recovery.
Anyone actually had success with such a setup?
