What you're going to be looking to do is to restore your database to an offline "recovery server", and use Outlook to move the tasks and contacts to a PST file. Then you can move them from the PST to your online mailbox. This is a good opportunity to test your disaster recovery procedures. While you're doing it you can use ESEUTIL and ISINTEG to check out the integrity of your database.

I downloaded an Excel project plan application that had a Sync with Outlook Tasks feature. While I was testing the tool, it updated all my existing tasks and modified them to match the tasks in the project plan. Teaches me a lesson never to play with test tools in a production environment. In any case, I would now like to recover my updated Contacts. Since the tasks have been updated the Deleted Item recovery won't really help here. Am I looking at a Restore from backup ? If so, does anyone have a link that could point me in the right direction on how I can restore just my Contacts ?
