This was where I was heading. I may just restore all the mailboxes from the day of the backup and see if that is acceptable. If not I will try and get each day as best as I can.

You can use ExMerge to extract the contents of a mailbox to a PST file and make sure to set the ExMerge options to extract the Dumpster (the retention area) as well. I would restore in one day increments and extract to PST including the retention, then wipe out the restored information store and restore the next day and extract to PST including retention, then wipe out the restored information store and restore the next day and extract, then next, then next, etc. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Avallone, Vincent Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 2004 7:47 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Recovering 6 months of mail Well then that is all I have to work with. 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.
