I guess what I was getting at (while using ExMerge is certainly an option) is that you can only exmerge a database that is mounted, which means users are online accessing the dial-tone database most likely while you are running exmerge. In that design there is the risk that you will lose some data that has changed between doing the exmerge on an individual mailbox before you get a chance to bringing the server offline to replace the dbs with the restored ones.
Generally the best option is to take the mail that your have restored in the recovery group and use the tools that come with the Exchange 2003 SP1 to import the mail into your live dial-tone database. This way you avoid that risk of losing data. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew Blevins Sent: Tuesday, April 12, 2005 10:39 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Recovery Storage Group question Generally those would be Exmerged out, and then Exmerged back in to the freshly moved databases (which are obviously much larger). -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Presley, Steven Sent: Monday, April 11, 2005 3:27 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Recovery Storage Group question What about the transactions that your customers made against the dial-tone databases?

Very cool. Finally, restores in E2K3 are much more pleasant than they used to be.
