I am thinking it was the admin. We use Notes here, my backups are much better than 50% of the time, and we have had only 1 quasi-catastrophe (database format chaged). No info was actually lost, (Notes has an "All Documents" folder, very handy for quick searches), just that the folder structure was demolished. We restored from backup. Corrupt databases are notmally only a lost pointer, and easily fixed.
That is not to say that Notes is the best product for email. I just wanted to add that you really should not have so many issues running Notes, and getting the backups to work. I would blame the admin in this case. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -K.Borndale IT Manager Sybari Software 631.630.8569 -direct dial 631.439.0689 -fax http://www.sybari.com "One man's ceiling is another man's floor" "David N.

I am not sure if the last two companies I have outsourced at, if it was REALLY bad hardware, really bad admin or really bad email servers (Notes 4 and 5). They only backed up successfully 50% of the time. They corrupted easily. -----Original Message----- From: Dimitri Limanovski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 03, 2002 2:06 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: Is it possible.. Nah, we got bought out by another company that uses Notes. Don't get me wrong, it's a powerful product by damn it's horribly written and nightmare to use/deploy/manage!! Anyway, thanks for your suggestions - I was able to empty out Calendar but Notes Migration tool blows up nevertheless.. Off to Notes mailing list.. See ya!

Does anyone know if it's possible to delete all entries in user's Calendar? Sadly, unlike the rest of the normal world, we're migrating from Exchange to Notes and I'm having problem migrating one user over. Notes Migration tool blows up while migrating items in his Calendar and I'd like to export it out to PST first and then delete either the whole folder or it's contents, if possible.. Server: Exchange5.5 SP4, client: Outlook2000 SR2. Thanks in advance!
