Hi all, 
I'm getting the following errors on MSX 5.5 SP4 and the store doesn't
start.

I spent all day on Technet and reading the MSX Disaster Recovery Guide,
but didn't find useful informations on the "log version stamp" error, so I
decided to make an offline backup of the stores, and then a restore of the
last PRIV and PUB stores (backed up last Saturday), plus the differential
backed up last night.  Unfortunately the store still doesn't start.

BEFORE RESTORE

System is MSX 5.5 SP4 on SBS 4.5 (NT4 SP6a).  I was running Exchange
Optimizer and it hung attemping to restart the store service.  Trend
ScanMail 3.8 was temporarily disabled as I was invesigating for crashes
possibly due to ScanMail.

After several months of good operation ScanMail 3.6 caused me some bad
store crashes that I have always been able to recover from backups.  After
having loaded ScanMail 3.8 everything went fine for a week, until today...

Can anybody give some good recommendations that I can try tonight (it's 8
pm in Italy), or should I make "that" call to PSS in the morning?

Thanks in advance,
Alberto
