Well, I haven't done this myself, but I think you will need to find out
what SP level your Exch SW was at during the time you wish to restore
from.
There were some big changes to the schema in SP4, so an SP3 IS may not
run correctly.

Subject: Disaster Recovery Test 2
Hello All,
Note:
Exchange Server 5.5 SP4
Windows 2000 SP1
Recovery Server and Production Exchange server have identical Exchange
server, Windows 2k server and service packs.
I have just successfully completed a DR test using the last full backup
tape (Friday's tape). My manager would like me to do another test but
this time using a full backup tape from April 2001. He said that back
in July they lost some public folder data and could not recover it and
was wondering if I could do another DR test using an older tape. My
question is this. Should I reinstall Exchange and do all the steps over
again? Can I just restore the IS and DS from April and would it
overwrite the current one? What is the best way to go about performing
the next DR test?
Thanks,
