I am configuring an Exchange 2003 server and want to create at least two
databases to reduce the amount of time it takes for backups (and restore,
knock on wood). My question is if I use only the default First Storage Group
and create multiple stores within this SG can I seperate out the log files
for each database or do they have to be shared between all of the databases
within the SG and be in the same location?

Along the same lines do the Store databases within the same SG have to be on
the same physical drive/folder or could they be seperated onto differnet
drives, or is the only way to put databases on different drives/locations to
create another SG?

Thanks.

All stores within a storage group share transaction logs. Transaction logs
are therefore created per storage group.

You really should locate transaction logs on a separate disk spindle to the
stores. As for the stores themselves, they can either be on the same set of
disks, or on their own individual sets, depending on many factors, such as
number of users, load, etc.
