I have a client that is currently running Exchange 5.5 and doing monthly backups retaining them for 7-years. They have plans to migrate up to Exchange2003. That's not a problem going forward, but what about all the monthly data in Exchange 5.5 format....can I restore a 5.5 database into a 2003 server? Or would they need to keep an 5.5 server around just to restore these monthly backups?
This goes along with the threads on this list about long-term retention of data and being able to recover that in the future. Bill Boyer "An Optimist is just a pessimist with no job experience." - Scott Adams
