You might have to produce multiple PSTs for each user since a PST is limited to 2GB.

But those you didn't purge their deleted items will that email still be available after the restore? I just let me IT manager know some of the expectations. He is on my side, so I will attempt to recover as much as I can and see what happens. If the mail was purged then they aren't getting it back. My plan is to restore each store for each month then exmerge all the mail to .pst files and allow whoever wants to see it have access it. When it is said and done I will have restored 480 mailboxes. I will do my best.

What Ed is saying is this: If the person in question had the knowledge on how to purge their deleted items, then the purged items will be gone and even deleted item retention won't help. At that point the only way to recover them would possibly be with a third party D/R tool, though even that's no guarantee.

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.
