Yes, if you restore from say September 15th backup, you have 30 days worth of retained deleted items that you can recover.
But the retained deleted items get aged and purged every day... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Avallone, Vincent Sent: Thursday, September 30, 2004 10:27 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Recovering 6 months of mail I guess my thought that was since I have Exchange setup to use the No Recovery method and my retention level is set to 30 days which means to me that the mail can be recovered up to 30 days. I think the term retention got thrown in there and I meant to say the recovered deleted items setting. Anyway isn't the 30 days recovery part of the backup set? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed Crowley [MVP] Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 2004 8:05 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Recovering 6 months of mail Define "retention".

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.
