Thank you very much Del. I knew about the logs being associated per SG, but did not put the two facts together. I guess my only other option is to create another SG and move the Public Folder db to it and exclude it.
Thanks again for your feedback, much appreciated.

If a backup product allowed you to do this, it would be letting you create backup that may not be recoverable in the event that you lost the disk that contained your public folder database.
