The only limitation with this approach is if the mailbox associated with the

As long as Exchange server is the same version (sp's and hotfixes) you can
use an older OS server for a restore server or vice-versa (upgrade to newer

We have a problem that only really manifested itself when we tried a restore of
Exchange 2000 in a Disaster Recovery mode.
We have Exchange 2000, with all the storage groups on EMC.

storage groups as
