Define "retention". Remember, you're going backward in time, not forward.

I will try and restore the mail from the day of the backup. I guess I thought the backups would have the retention.

For example, a user gets a message during the day and then deletes it. Save for deleted retained items, no backup will have it. Backup tapes represent a point in time, not a range of dates.

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.
