We recently had to do disaster recovery because a misconfigured email scanner removed 55,000 attachments out of some our mailboxes. Because it took almost a week for us to get to the point where we could restore the attachments for the accounts affected, we ended up using the Ex2K3 SP1 new feature for "Recover Mailbox Data". We had to wait a few days to get a hotfix from Microsoft that allows the new feature to work against mailboxes that have a comma in the Display Name, but it allowed us to recover all their messages into a sub-folder of their mailbox.
EXMerge was nice because we could've recovered just their messages with attachments and replaced the originals in their mailbox but due to many complications that was not the best option for us.

In other words if I take the contents of UserA mailbox, can I put them into UserB mailbox and when finished UserB has all there original message plus the messages from UserA I am assuming this is how it works, but I want to confirm before I try it ----------------------------------------- Rob Weatherly ----------------------------------------- _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang=english To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
