Looks like the "Disaster Recovery Exchange 2000 Server.pdf" from MS has me in the right direction. I am going home now. Fortunately my IT manager told his management that it will take at least a month to recover. That will give me a little time. If anything comes to mind about my "challenge" please let me know.
TBH, I am hoping I go in next week and they say they don't need it...

Even then, you are going to have gaps and who knows what. Depending on version, you can search for the disaster recovery whitepapers in google and it should pull them up. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Avallone, Vincent Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 2004 7:38 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Recovering 6 months of mail Can you point me to a good doc that can get me started? Didn't Ed used have a section on a website that was good? MS is slow going.

Sounds miserable. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Avallone, Vincent Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 2004 7:21 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Recovering 6 months of mail My retention level on the tapes are 1 year so if I can find all of them I should be in good shape. Can I restore 6 IS on one rebuilt exchange box? That doesn't make sense to me. Or do I need to restore one month of the IS and export the mailboxes of the user they want to .pst? I am sure I will have other issues since the machine I will be restoring oin on will be a different hardware and name I guess too. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andy David Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 2004 7:16 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Recovering 6 months of mail ALL the mail? I guess how many restores you need to do depends how long your DIR time is set. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Avallone, Vincent Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 2004 7:08 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Recovering 6 months of mail Hey All, I haven't posted in a while (not that I did much before). We have a few less people now so the administration has gone quite a bit, until now. I was asked to restore 6 months of email for pretty much all of our users (80). Now based on the lists advice a while ago, I do have my full IS backups. No brick levels. This is a first for me so can you some give some advice? I have the MS stuff I have been looking through. My biggest concern is that they need to have ALL the mail. So if I restore the store from Jan, then how do I restore it from Feb? Will I have 6 different IS? One for each month? This machine does not have to be in production. I just need to let management peruse through the mail. The restore is a bit different then the ones I have looked at so far. Anyway thanks for help back then, and now. _________________________________________________________________ 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.
