That registry setting is not required in Outlook 2007 or above. (And in fact, its meaning has changed over the years, but that's a topic for an entire article, not a mailing list post.)

If you have the reg hack "dumpster always on," you can still recover those emails that were 'hard-deleted.' ________________________________ From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Date: Mon, 8 Mar 2010 09:16:00 -0500 Subject: RE: Exchange brick level backup software Options / soultion? Talk to me about item 5... I'm using Exchange 12.5. In my backup job, I have an option I can check to enable "Granular Recovery Technology." GRT lets me restore individual messages and mailboxes. You're saying that when I check that option, I'm no longer doing a "normal IS backup" and need, in essence, to create a second backup job in which GRT isn't enabled? We can live with item 1. Our Exchange backups take a few hours, but in our environment that's acceptable (we're not an overnight operation here, so long backups at night are fine). But you've piqued my curiosity; I may disable GRT and see how big a difference that makes in the time. On item 2, can't users permanently delete items from their Deleted Items folder, even it retention is enabled? I thought retention forced those items to be permanently deleted after a period of time, but I didn't know if also forced them to NOT be permanently deleted for that same period. But I'm not an Exchange wiz by any means; I'm a generalist, not a specialist. :-) John From: Michael B.

Very few and far between. But they exist. Regards, Michael B.

Is there a downside to doing brick-level backups, though? We're doing this with BackupExec, and I see only potential benefits to it-no drawbacks.
