That is not going to work, The Restore in Progress key is needed to bring the database consistent, The edb.chk file does not come off of tape, nor do res1.log and res2.log.
What I would recommend is to delete the contents of the mdbdata directories on all drives and then restore. The store should start immediately after soft recovery finishes. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matthew Joyce Sent: Monday, November 22, 2004 10:41 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: old 5.5 data needed. I'm reinstalling and restoring again. (again) I didn't realise this was going to be so problematic. When the restore of the IS to the recovery server is complete I will see these files. edb.chk edb.log edb00E99.log edb00E9A.log edb00E9B.log PRIV.EDB PRIV.pat PUB.EDB PUB.pat res1.log res2.log I'm not terribly bothered about the data in the logs, but as I understand they need to be rolled forward to get the db consitant. So I will run `eseutil /r /is` `isinteg -pri -fix -test alltests` `isinteg -patch` then check and delete the Restore in Progress regkey. fingers crossed...
