RE: Recovering an Event Script from a Mailbox
Fiona, Don't go for the Veritas IDR solution. I have just installed it and we are using it because it given to us by Veritas with netbackup. All it does is an automated Windows NT/2000 MS install and at the end runs a GUI program to do a restore. A total waste of time to install a OS (about a hour or so) just to have it overwritten with the restore. There new replaement software they have just bought off another compkany called 'bare metal restore' seems to be a MUCH MUCH better product.

RE: Recovering an Event Script from a Mailbox
Siegfried: Just to follow-up on this issue, script finally recovered after contacting PSS and several restore attempts. Here was the resolution: Restore the Private information store from the server that housed that mailbox to a contingency. Started/shutdown IS and moved priv out. Restore the Public information store from the server where the script was executed to a contingency. Started/shutdown IS. moved the restored priv.edb to the same location as the restored pub and ran Isinteg - patch Script retrieved through the Agents tab from the restored mailbox.
