It simply modifies the schema (as previous SPs have), and I'm not aware
that it takes any longer than other SPs.  You'd have to rebuild the
server back to SP3 to restore an online SP3 backup.

Subject: Exchange 5.5 sp4


I saw in a recent thread that exchange 5.5 service pack 4 updates the
databases and cannot be removed. 
Can anyone advise how long this is likely to take (yes I know trhis a
stupid question, but compared to other SPs, usually I'd get the service
back within about half an hour say) Hours?  Most of a day?

restoring if anything goes wrong - if the server is upgraded to SP4,
then the database conversion screws up , could I restore the online
backup? Or would I have to rebuild the server?

any advice welcome,
thanks,
Harriet
